I read about this somewhere else about 3 months ago. You're a little late to the party it seems.
danfogel: I suppose it's possible you read it here. I think the Reader is the only non-Bar local publication following these Bar actions. If so, I apologize. Best, Don Bauder
I searched the Reader website and this story has not appeared before. Cooke's discipline was first disclosed in the November 2013 California Bar Journal which was posted three days ago according to Google. No other media has covered this story. I am also outraged by this pathetic slap on the wrist. Cooke should have lost his license for life.
Burwell: You are an excellent researcher so I cannot argue with you. Possibly danfogel is thinking of someone with a similar name. And I agree with you: give the number of offenses, this was a very mild punishment. Best, Don Baudeer
