Two retired California Supreme Court justices are among a group of legal scholars, politicians and former jurists who signed a letter calling on the state bar to investigate attorney John Eastman for his “efforts to discredit and overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.”
Former associate justices Joseph Grodin and Kathryn Mickle Werdegar lent their names to a letter that says Eastman, the former dean of Chapman University Law School, may have violated the Rules of Professional Conduct when he wrote a memo suggesting that Vice President Mike Pence may not have to count the electoral votes of seven states that went for Joe Biden in the November 2020 presidential election. Eastman wrote a second, lengthier memo on the same topic.
