On Wednesday, October 4, The Daily Journal reported on the administrative order the Supreme Court issued on Tuesday that states — and requires the State Bar’s adherence to — an antitrust policy and guidelines. The article says the order “comes in the aftermath of an outside watchdog group and state lawmakers having raised concerns about the effects of the bar’s board featuring far more attorneys than non-attorneys.”
The Supreme Court of California says the state bar must prove it is operating under state law and must receive written approval from a supervising state official before invoking antitrust immunity under the state action doctrine.
In general, the court does many things other than decide cases. This is one of them. The administrative order was issued, as the order itself explains, under the court’s “inherent authority to regulate the practice of law in this state.”
