Judge Douglas Federspiel of Yakima, WA; serial scofflaw   

 

The state of Washington provided Douglas Federspiel with a law license in 1989 after he graduated from the University of Washington Law School.

 

The Washington Commission on Judicial Conduct found Doug guilty of the following misconduct.

  • Illegally solicited endorsements of judicial campaign from subordinate court and county employees in a non-public are of the Yakima County Juvenile Justice Center during work hours
  • Abused his judicial position for personal gain
  • Knowingly misused court facilities and resources
  • Failed to comply with the law
  • Failed to act to promote public confidence in the judiciary

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Attorney Misfits sitting on the Washington Supreme Court punished Doug by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.

 

As we speak (ca. October 2017), Doug continues to sit as an Yakima County Superior Court Judge in Yakima, Washington.
