Does a court commissioner need to be a member of the State Bar of California Bar?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Barfield v. Superior Court for Los Angeles County, 216 Cal.App.2d 476, 31 Cal.Rptr. 30 (Cal. App. 1963):
1 Although court commissioners are judicial officers, they are not within the purview of State Bar of California v. Superior Court (1929) 207 Cal. 323, 278 P. 432, and do not lose their status as attorneys if they held that status on appointment. It may be noted that, except by rule of the appointing court, commissioners need not be members of the Bar. (Govt.Code, 70142.)
