SAN FRANCISCO (CN) – In a whistleblower lawsuit filed Thursday, former Sen. Joseph Dunn says the State Bar fired him as its executive director for exposing malfeasance and “egregious improprieties.”
Dunn, who was fired on November 7, claims he was targeted after he discovered that the bar’s chief trial counsel, Jayne Kim, removed 269 backlogged cases from official reports released to the public in order to make her office appear more productive.
Dunn is represented by Mark Geragos in Los Angeles.
“We wouldn’t have filed this case if we didn’t think there was egregious conduct going on at the State Bar,” said Geragos.
