Discipline Notice: : Resignation Form of Mark Conlin Jobson (ELC 9.3(b))
Description: Mark Conlin Jobson (WSBA No. 22171, admitted 1992) of Bend, OR, resigned in lieu of discipline, effective 10/09/2020. Jobson agrees that he is aware of the alleged misconduct in disciplinary counsel’s Statement of Alleged Misconduct and rather than defend against the allegations, wishes to permanently resign from membership in the Association. The Statement of Alleged Misconduct reflects the following alleged violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct: 1.3 (Diligence), 3.4 (Fairness to Opposing Party and Counsel), 8.4 (Misconduct).

Jobson’s alleged misconduct, as stated in disciplinary counsel’s Statement of Alleged Misconduct, related to his role as Special Assistant Attorney General and lead counsel for Washington state with respect to expert preparation and discovery for litigation related to the March 2014 Oso landslide. Disciplinary Counsel’s Statement of Alleged Misconduct includes: 1) unlawfully obstructing another party’s access to evidence and/or altering, destroying, and/or concealing a document or other material having evidentiary value and/or by counseling and/or assisting another person to do any such act; 2) failing to make reasonably diligent effort to comply with a legally proper discovery request by an opposing party; and 3) failing to act with reasonable diligence and promptness in representing a client.
