"The Bar’s disciplinary process has always been a hot-button topic among partisan legal geeks, and conservatives have long felt the organization is liberal-leaning and stacked against them."

I agree with you, but do any professional associations reveal complaints: physicians, dentists, real estate brokers, etc.? They might reveal if someone is convicted of fraud and therefore has a license suspended or revoked, but complaints?

As usual, though, a thoughtful and important report.
