Paul Zellerbach: Riverside, County DA; repeat offender, lifetime porker, ethical gremlin   In a monumental lapse of judgment, the California Supreme Court presented Paul Zellerbach with a license to practice law in 1978.
From 1978 through 2011, Paul has had his significant snout firmly implanted in the public trough. After receiving his law license in 1978, he spent the next 22 years as an assistant Riverside County DA. In 1200, Paul succeeded in duping the voters in Riverside County to elect him as a Superior Court Judge where he remained until 2011 when the voters elected him as the County DA.
During his unremarkable career, Paul has been disciplined at least twice as seen below.

In November 2011, the Judicial Commission again found Paul the Repeater guilty of misconduct. In this instance the Commission found Paulie guilty of failing to:
As a result of his misconduct, the enablers sitting on the Judicial Commission punished Paulie by “again” gifting him with an admonishment.
As we speak (Nov 2011), Paulie the Loser remains as the DA of Riverside County.
