More On Qualcomm Decision

The web page of the California State Bar has a report about the much-blogged about Qualcomm decision.As we had suggested in the immediate wake of the decision, the resolution of the disciplinary referral of the magistrate judge may have to await the conclusion of the underlying litigation:

"Scott Drexel, the bar’s chief trial counsel, would not comment on the   case but said typically, the bar awaits the outcome of litigation before taking   any disciplinary action against attorneys. 'We do not want to interfere   or have an impact on a pending case unless it’s absolutely necessary,' he   said." (Mike Frisch)
