Attorney conduct and disciplineUsing the registry
Can I see whether an attorney has been disciplined?
Each record shows the licence status the roll holds — active or not — which is the fact the registry publishes. The full disciplinary history is kept by The State Bar of California and is public there: look the attorney up at https://apps.calbar.ca.gov before engaging anyone.
The registry does not summarise or characterise discipline. A record of that kind deserves to be read at its source rather than through somebody else's paraphrase.
