The lesson of the Girardi fiasco is that the State Bar should stop prejudicial enforcement
The State Bar has corrected the unfair treatment of lawyers, but failed to protect the public from worse treatment by lawyers, even though protecting the public is the State Bar’s top priority. To put it in perspective, the State Bar has bandaged the shaving nicks, but missed the hemorrhaging.

Third, there is a substantial risk that the State Bar will not learn the most important lesson from the Girardi situation.
