Examples of use of quasi-judicial proceeding
1. The Senate Ethics Manual advises senators that contact with prosecutors and regulatory agency officials is "generally permitted, where the communication is with the agency and not directed at the court, where the agency is not engaged in an ongoing enforcement, investigative or other quasi–judicial proceeding." Stanley Brand, an ethics lawyer who served as House counsel in the 1'80s, said a senator should contact a federal prosecutor about an ongoing investigation only if he or she has evidence or information related to the probe.
