Case IV, Eugster v. WSBA, No. 15-2-04614-9, Superior Court of the State of Washington for Spokane County. Constitutionality of WSBA Washington Lawyer Discipline System: Procedural Due Process and Strict Scrutiny Analysis.

Case IV raises three issues:

1. Whether the WSBA Washington Lawyer Discipline System (the whole system) violates Eugster’s fundamental right of procedural due process of law.
2. Whether the WSBA Discipline System is unconstitutional because its creation violates strict scrutiny.
3. Whether the WSBA is misusing the system to intimidate Eugster.
4. Whether the Superior Court or WSBA Discipline System has Jurisdiction

Court held that the WSBA Discipline System has jurisdiction has jurisdiction over Eugster’s Civil Rights Action 42 U.S.C. Section 1983.  See Appeal of Order of Dismissal to Court of Appeals Division Three.
