Is the Govenator Angling to Eviscerate the State Bar of California?

By EvilEsq, October 13, 2009 in

Gov. Schwarzenegger

Gov. Schwarzeneg­ger

Gov­er­nor Arnold Schwarzeneg­ger yes­ter­day announced his veto of Sen­ate Bill 641, intro­duced by Sen­a­tor Ellen Cor­bett (D) from San Lean­dro to autho­rize the State Bar of Cal­i­for­nia to con­tinue to col­lect­ing mem­ber­ship dues of $315 next year. [SB 641]

In his veto mes­sage, Gov­er­nor Schwarzeneg­ger ref­er­enced for­mer Gov­er­nor Pete Wilson’s 1997 veto of the State Bar dues bill cit­ing the “the State Bar had become overly polit­i­cal, unre­spon­sive to its mem­ber­ship and inef­fi­cient.” Accord­ing to Arnold, “twelve years later, inef­fi­cien­cies remain unad­dressed and ques­tions about the State Bar’s role in the eval­u­a­tion of judi­cial nom­i­nees sug­gest that the State Bar’s polit­i­cal agenda con­tin­ues.” [Read the full text of his veto mes­sage]

Obvi­ously Gov­er­nor Arnold hasn’t had time to cruise the EEBA. He should start here: Cal Bar 2008 Per­for­mance Review.

“Unre­spon­sive to its mem­ber­ship?” The State Bar of California’s first pri­or­ity is “Pub­lic Pro­tec­tion” at which it fails mis­er­ably. Egre­gious exam­ples: …

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

The Evil Esquire Bar Asso­ci­a­tion is seek­ing pub­lic com­ment regard­ing the mis­ad­ven­tures of Cal­i­for­nia attor­ney James Mazi Parsa [#102005], prior to accept­ing nom­i­na­tions for his induc­tion into the EEBA.

On Sep­tem­ber 17, 2009 James’ lawyer license was sus­pended by the State Bar of Cal­i­for­nia, effec­tive Octo­ber 16, 2009, pend­ing the Cal­BAR­FOONs con­sid­er­a­tion of whether or not he is “guilty” of moral turpi­tude for his guilty plea on May 17, 2001 to two counts of “Unlaw­ful Sex­ual Inter­course with Per­son under 18 Years of Age” (Cal­i­for­nia Penal Code § 261.5). James was acquit­ted of six (6) addi­tional counts includ­ing: four counts of “Unlaw­ful Sex­ual Inter­course with Per­son under 18 Years of Age”, one (1) count of “Oral cop­u­la­tion of per­son under 18 years” (Cal­i­for­nia Penal Code § 288a(b)(1)) and one count (1) of “Sex­ual pen­e­tra­tion by for­eign object; vic­tim under 18” (Cal­i­for­nia Penal Code § 289(h)).

Cal Bar 2008 Performance Review | PRELIMINARY RESULTS

By EvilEsq, September 10, 2009 in

calbar2008coverHear Ye! Hear Ye!

Just in time for the CalBARFOON’s annual gath­er­ing– this year at the Grand Hyatt in San Diego, the Evil Esquire Bar Association’s actu­ar­ial depart­ment has released their pre­lim­i­nary find­ings regard­ing the State Bar of California’s dis­ci­pline sys­tem per­for­mance for the years 2004 through 2008.

Before we start, the text on the cover of the State Bar of Cal­i­for­nia 2008 Annual Report is worth not­ing: “Pub­lic Pro­tec­tion | Admin­is­tra­tion of Jus­tice | Mem­ber Services.”

First the good news, accord­ing to the Cal Bar, there were 161,729 lawyers actively “prac­tic­ing” law in Cal­i­for­nia on Decem­ber 1, 2008. This equates to 1 lawyer for every 226 humans in the state down from 242 humans per lawyer in 2004.

Now the bad news, from 2004 through 2008 the Cal Bar dis­ci­plined only 3.1 per­cent of the lawyers regard­ing whom they received com­plaints. Dur­ing this period, only 0.8 per­cent of com­plaints received by the Cal Bar from con­sumers of legal ser­vices i.e., vic­tim clients, oppos­ing par­ties, etc. resulted in dis­ci­pli­nary action against the offend­ing lawyer. …

EEBA Rants Raves and Tips Thread

By EvilEsq, October 8, 2009 in

Have a con­struc­tive rant, rave, or tip to share with the EEBA? Leave it here (click on the post’s title to open it).

Note to lawyers: If you are angry this site exists, then you should eval­u­ate whether you are evil, uneth­i­cal or both. If you some­how decide you are not evil or uneth­i­cal, but still angry about our pres­ence, then you should eval­u­ate whether or not you are too stu­pid to lobby your state’s bar over­seers to require them to inves­ti­gate all com­plaints they receive regard­ing your col­leagues who break the rules or the law. After all, an intel­li­gent lawyer would want LESS COMPETITION. In light of the fore­go­ing, com­ments attack­ing this site and our Bored’s meth­ods will not be published.

Today the Bored Gov­er­nors of the Evil Esquire Bar Asso­ci­a­tion (the “EEBA”) announced their for­mal endorse­ment of Jon E. Hop­kins, Esquire (age 63) a/k/a Hop­pie for Lake County Cal­i­for­nia Dis­trict Attorney.

Our endorse­ment action is pre­cip­i­tated by sev­eral events that, sub­se­quent to cit­i­zens’ and the media’s under­min­ing of Hoppie’s deft appli­ca­tion of the doc­trine of pros­e­cu­to­r­ial indis­cre­tion, result­ing in his los­ing the Bis­marck Dinius case, lead us to believe he may be waf­fling on seek­ing a sec­ond term as Lake County dis­trict attor­ney. …
