California Codes, Business and Professions Code - BPC, Division 3 — Professions and Vocations Generally, Chapter 4 — Attorneys, Article 5 — Disciplinary Authority of the Board of Governors, Section 6087

Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as limiting or altering the powers of the Supreme Court of this State to disbar or discipline licensees of the bar as this power existed prior to the enactment of Chapter 34 of the Statutes of 1927, relating to the State Bar of California.

Notwithstanding any other law, the Supreme Court may by rule authorize the State Bar to take any action otherwise reserved to the Supreme Court in any matter arising under this chapter or initiated by the Supreme Court; provided, that any such action by the State Bar shall be reviewable by the Supreme Court pursuant to such rules as the Supreme Court may prescribe.

Notes

Establishes that the chapter does not limit or alter the California Supreme Court’s preexisting power to disbar or discipline State Bar licensees. The Supreme Court may by rule authorize the State Bar to take actions otherwise reserved to the court in covered matters, but those State Bar actions remain reviewable by the Supreme Court.
