Discipline Notice:
Description: Susanne A. Griffin (WSBA No. 16775, admitted 1987), of Santa Monica, California, was suspended for 30 days, effective February 12, 2008, by order of the Washington State Supreme Court imposing reciprocal discipline in accordance with an order of the Supreme Court of California following approval of a stipulation. This discipline was based on Ms. Griffin assisting in the transfer of correspondence between inmates in two different segregated sections of the same correctional facility without prior approval of the head of the facility. For more information, see the California Bar Journal (February 2008), available at http://calbar.ca.gov/state/calbar/calbar_home.jsp.

Ms. Griffin’s conduct violated the State of California’s Business and Professions Code, section 6068(a), which makes it the duty of an attorney to support the Constitution and the laws of the United States and of the state of California.

Felice P. Congalton represented the Bar Association. Ms. Griffin represented herself.
