The State Bar of California revealed Monday, March 14, that the public release of confidential attorney discipline records was more widespread than initially reported, but said only a fraction of the complaints was ever viewed.

At the same time, the agency said it would notify all complainants, witnesses, and respondents whose names appeared in the 322,525 records available on the internet since October 2021. Initially, the State Bar said judyrecords.com, a public records aggregator, had published an estimated 260,000 discipline records along with about 60,000 public State Bar court cases until the website became inaccessible late last month.
