Attorney Michael Libman’s California Supreme Court Petition Warns of Star Chamber Due Process Violations in Attorney Discipline System
America ı By Samuel Lopez

Within the constitutional framework Libman presents, these facts are not isolated events.
They are part of a larger structural pattern that, according to the petition, resembles precisely the kind of tribunal-driven, coercive system the Due Process Clause was designed to eliminate centuries ago.
The petition also invokes Faretta v. California (1975), where the Supreme Court recognized that the Star Chamber “has, for centuries, symbolized disregard of basic individual rights” and condemned the punishment of advocates “for the substance of their representation” as part of “the arbitrary arm of royal power.”
That language may prove especially significant because Libman repeatedly argues he was targeted not for ordinary misconduct, but because he investigated judicial conduct and openly challenged powerful institutional actors.
Throughout the petition, Libman frames his activities as protected petitioning and investigative conduct and not part of any deceit or retaliation.
The filing repeatedly argues that California disciplinary authorities inverted chronology itself by portraying his investigation as revenge, even though the petition documents that Libman’s disclosures and investigative activity predated the major sanctions later imposed against him.
Perhaps the most important constitutional authority cited in the petition is In re Murchison itself.
There, the United States Supreme Court declared that “no man can be a judge in his own case” and warned that proceedings conducted “without the safeguards which the law has provided” cannot satisfy due process.
Libman’s petition argues that the structural-bias problems he identifies are the modern manifestation of the same constitutional dangers condemned throughout the Supreme Court’s Star Chamber jurisprudence.
From a broader legal perspective, the filing presents an extraordinary challenge to California’s attorney discipline system itself.
The petition argues that California’s unique structure — where prosecutorial, adjudicatory, and review functions operate within a tightly interconnected institutional framework — creates an especially dangerous environment when allegations of judicial corruption become intertwined with disciplinary proceedings.
And unlike many disciplinary appeals that focus narrowly on evidentiary disputes, Libman’s petition instead frames the case as a constitutional crisis involving structural neutrality itself.
In essence, the filing asks the California Supreme Court a deeply uncomfortable question:
