California is the only state with an independent professional Court dedicated to ruling on attorney discipline cases.
The State Bar Court hears charges filed by the State Bar's Office of Chief Trial Counsel against attorneys whose actions allegedly involve misconduct.
The State Bar Court has the authority to recommend that the California Supreme Court suspend or disbar attorneys found to have committed acts of professional misconduct or to have been convicted of serious crimes.
For lesser offenses, the State Bar Court can issue public or private reprovals.
