Hon. Joseph Dunn, Esq.

Joe Dunn currently serves as the Executive Director of the California State Bar and is a retired California State Senator from Orange County. When naming him to his most recent post, the State Bar said “as a veteran plaintiff’s lawyer and two-term state senator, Joe Dunn possesses the legal skills and political acumen indispensable for smoothing the waters between the State Bar and California’s legislative and executive branches. With the agency in Sacramento’s crosshairs, the new executive director leaves no doubt he’ll put public protection at the forefront of its regulatory activities.”
