Albert v. The State Bar of California CA4/3
The State Bar of California (the State Bar) began an investigation of Lenore Albert, a licensed attorney. During its investigation, Albert filed a lawsuit in the superior court, naming the State Bar and four of its employees as defendants. Albert alleged that the defendants had committed various torts and other civil wrongs. Albert sought monetary damages and injunctive relief in 11 causes of action. The defendants filed demurrers on several grounds, including that the superior court lacked subject matter jurisdiction. The court sustained the demurrers without leave to amend.
We affirm the judgment. The California Supreme Court generally exercises exclusive jurisdiction over matters involving attorney disciplinary proceedings.
