A judge recommended that Joe Dunn, a former O.C. politician, face a one-year probation term for misleading the State Bar's oversight board.
A judge has found that Joe Dunn, a lawyer and former Orange County politician, violated professional ethics when he lied about the use of funds for overseas travel while working as the executive director of the State Bar of California, the agency that regulates the practice of law in the Golden State.
The decision is a setback for Dunn, a former state senator from Santa Ana who once led the California Medical Assn., a powerful physician lobbying group, before taking the helm at the bar. His four years as executive director came to a halt in 2014 when the bar's board terminated him based on the findings of an investigation by the law firm Munger, Tolles and Olson. That probe determined he had misused funds and misled the board.
