The adjudication of admission and disciplinary matters changed with the creation of the professional State Bar Court in 1988 (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 6079.1) and the adoption of certain complementary rules of procedure. Pursuant to rule 836, Transitional Rules of Procedure of the State Bar Court [(Deering's Cal.Rules of Court (State Bar) (1988 ed., 1995 cum. supp.) pp. 80-81)], decisions of the State Bar Court are now deemed to be conclusive on both the applicant and the Committee. However, under rule 952.6, California Rules of Court, the Committee may petition this court for review of those decisions on grounds set forth in California Rules of Court, rule 954(a). fn. 2 The findings of the hearing panel have long been accorded significant weight, inasmuch as the hearing judge is in the best position to weigh intangibles such as credibility and demeanor. (Rodgers v. State Bar (1989) 48 Cal.3d 300, 312 [256 Cal.Rptr. 381, 768 P.2d 1058].) This principle applies equally under the professional State Bar Court system. Nonetheless, the Committee of Bar Examiners retains the sole statutory authority to administer the requirements for admission to the bar and to certify to this court those applicants who satisfy the requirements. (Bus. & Prof. Code, §§ 6046, 6064.) The new rules continue to recognize the Committee's special expertise and authority in this area by providing that the decision of the State Bar Court is merely provisional; the Committee may concur in that decision, in which case it becomes final after the period for review has expired, or it may affirmatively challenge the State Bar Court's ruling, in which case it becomes conclusive only after this court has either granted or denied review. (Transitional Rules Proc. of State Bar Court, rule 836.) Thus, the determinations of both the Committee and the State Bar Court as to moral fitness play an integral role in the ultimate decision by this court whether to admit an individual to the practice of law, and both are entitled to substantial weight within their respective spheres. Neither, however, is ultimately binding. "[W]e independently examine and weigh the evidence and pass on its sufficiency." (Pacheco v. State Bar, supra, 43 Cal.3d at p. 1047.) http://rules.calbar.ca.gov/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=-2KV5j0w6Cw%3d&tabid=1227 Rule 4.48 Agreement of Abeyance (A) The Committee and an applicant may suspend processing of an Application for Determination of Moral Character by an Agreement of Abeyance (1) when a court has ordered an applicant charged with a crime to be treated, rehabilitated, or otherwise diverted; (2) when a court has suspended the sentence of an applicant convicted of a crime and placed the applicant on probation; (3) when an applicant is actively seeking or obtaining tre

    1255 Jones, Apt. 132
    Reno. NV 89503
    Dear Mr. Coughlin:
    In anticipation of the report to the Committee of Bar Examiners (CBX), on February 16,
    2006, the LAP Evaluation Committee met to review your participation. At that time,
    your participation did not warrant a favorable report to CBX. You were given a period of
    time to explore arrangements that might allow you a more favorable outcome. To date,
    we have not received any information from you, but must report to CBX.
    The LAP Evaluation Committee has determined that you have not successfully complied
    with their recommendations and appear not to have gained insight regarding your alcohol
    abuse. In addition, your participation in the LAP has been terminated.
    We hope that you will choose to pursue recovery and we extend the invitation to contact
    the LAP for assistance in the future if you choose.

    It- Thibault, MFT, CADC

    -------r-)
    I. Introduction

    After receiving an adverse m ral character determination from the Committee of Bar
    Examiners of the State Bar of California committee),applicant Zachary Barker Coughlin appeals
    that decision and seeks a de novo dete

    ination of his moral character from this court. Applicant

    represented himself. The committee w

    represented by the Office of the Chief Trial Counsel of the

    State Bar of California,by and through

    eputy Trial Counsel Susan 1. Kagan.

    A four-day hearing was held on

    ay

    8,

    9, 10, and 22, 2007. The matter was submitted for

    decision on May 22,2007.

    For the reasons set forth below, the court finds that applicant currently lacks the requisite
    good moral character necessary for ad ission to the practice of law. (Bus. & Prof. Code, 6060,
    subd.(b);! Rules Regulating Admission 0 Practice Law,rule x.)
    II. Mora Character Determination

    Applicants for admission to pra tice law must possess good moral character (Bus. & Prof.
    Code, 6060, subd;. (b)), which incl

    es traits of "honesty, fairness, candor, trustworthiness,

    observance of fiduciary responsibility, espect for and obedience to the laws of the state and the
    nation and respect for the rights of others

    III. App cant's General Background


    A.

    Educational Background
    Applicant attended the Universi y of Washington from 1995 through 1996. In January 1997,

    applicant enrolled in the University of Nevada, Reno, graduating with a B.S. degree in biology in
    1999. In August 1999,applicant attend d the University of Nevada,Boyd School of Law,Las Vegas
    (UNLV), graduating with a J.D. degr e in 2001.

    Applicant took and passed the California bar

    examination in July 2002.

    B.

    2001 Application for Admissi n to Practice Law in the State of Nevada


    Applicant applied for admissi n to practice law in Nevada in February 2001 and was

    successful on the July 2001 Nevada

    r examination.

    The Nevada's bar Committee on Moral

    Character and Fitness (Nevada Commit ee) had several issues of concerns regarding applicant,such
    as his criminal charges,the incidents at t e law school,employment termination and mental stability.

    In September 2002, after a hearing, he Nevada Committee recommended that applicant be


    conditionally admitted to the Nevada S ate Bar.
    By order dated December 18,20 2,the Supreme Court of Nevada deferred the admission of
    applicant as an attorney until October 1, 2003.
    compliance with the following terms:

    The deferral was conditioned on applicant's

    (1) submit to onthly counseling by a licensed Ph.D.

    psychologist and submit to and abi e by any course of treatment deemed necessary and
    recommended by the psychologist; (2) ubmit a signed release allowing the State Bar of Nevada
    access to any counseling records; (3) sub

    it quarterly statements to the Office of Bar Counsel during

    -2-

    the probationary period attesting to his

    mpliance with the conditions; and

    Supreme Court Rules and the Rules of

    rofessional Conduct of the State Bar of Nevada.

    On December

    21, 2004,

    (4) abide by the Nevada

    the N vada Committee reported that applicant had successfully

    completed and fully complied with the

    rms of the conditions of his deferral agreement throughout

    the deferral period and recommende

    that applicant be admitted to the State Bar of Nevada

    conditioned again on the terms of his d ferral as set forth above. On March
    Court of Nevada issued an order ad

    25, 2005, the

    Supreme

    itting applicant as a member of the Nevada State Bar.

    However, that admission was conditio ed until

    2008

    on the terms of probations as set forth in his

    deferral agreement.

    On January

    9, 2003,

    applicant supplemented and

    corrected his September 2002 applicati n. Applicant told of the Nevada Supreme Court's deferral
    of his application for a license to practi e law in Nevada, indicated that he had passed the October

    On February 23, 2003, applicant

    rote to the committee that he had been arrested on January

    and that, as a result, he had been let go from his position

    at Schuering, Zimmerman & Scully. 0 March

    On September 4, 2003, the co

    ittee wrote to the State Bar of Nevada requesting a copy of

    applicant's psychological evaluation re ort and a copy of the arrest and conviction documents in
    applicant's resisting arrest misdemean r in October 2001. By July 13, 2004, the committee had
    decided that it was not in the position to recommend applicant's admission to the State Bar of
    California. The committee decided that hey would hold in abeyance until January 13, 2005, so that
    they could evaluate applicant's particip tion in the Lawyer Assistance Program of the State Bar of
    California (LAP) which has been establi hed to provide assistance with mental health and substance
    abuse issues to members of the legal pr fession. On July 19, 2004, applicant signed a stipulation
    with the committee that his recovery fro
    The stipulation required applicant to

    alcohol abuse would be monitored by an agent from LAP.


    uthorize the committee to release to LAP all materials

    submitted in connection with his appl ation and further required applicant to sign a waiver of
    confidentiality and release of informati n to allow LAP to report the evaluation and findings to the
    committee.
    On June 22, 2005, applicant cont cted LAP and completed the telephone intake process. On
    February 16, 2006, the LAP Evaluation

    ommittee met to review applicant's participation in LAP.

    The LAP Evaluation Committee decid d that applicant had not successfully complied with their
    recommendation and thus, terminated a plicant's participation in LAP.
    On June 7, 2006, the committ e advised applicant that it declined to recommend his
    admission to the State Bar to the Supr me Court of California. The decision was reached after
    consideration of several factors, includi g applicant's 2003 conviction for reckless driving, being
    disci plined while a law student by

    UN V, lack

    of candor, and failure to satisfy the terms of his

    abeyance agreement with the committee

    IV. Applicant's Prima


    An applicant's initial burden of
    has been met by testimonials from as
    applicant. (See, e.g.,

    Hall

    v.

    acie Showing of Good Moral Character


    stablishing a prima facie showing is "relatively" easy. It
    w as two witnesses in addition to the testimony of the

    Committee ifBar Examiners

    -4-

    (1979) 25 Ca1.3d 730, 734-735.)

    The court finds that applicant m de a prima facie showing of good moral character based upon
    his testimony at trial. Respondent test" led that he possesses good character and that his omissions
    on his application to the State Bar wer minor as compared to what he did admit.

    v. The Committee's
    The committee presented clear

    ebuttal of Applicant's Prima Facie Case


    d convincing evidence to rebut applicant's prima facie case

    of good moral character. The evidenc involved applicant's lack of candor at his deposition and
    material omissions from and misrepres ntations on his application regarding various issues, such as
    his misconduct at UNLV, employmen history, status with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office,
    substance abuse, DUI conviction, cou

    appearances, civil actions, residential addresses, financial

    obligations and mental health. The co rt agrees with most of the committee's contentions.

    A.

    Scholastic Discipline at UNL


    1.

    Academic Dishonesty nvestigation - Formal Letter of Warning

    In the summer of 2001, applic

    t emolled in a cyberlaw class, taught by Las Vegas attorney

    Mark Tratos (Tratos). A final paper w s one of the requirements of the class. Tratos required that
    the students turn in both a hard copy an a disk of the final p aper. Applicant said he turned in a hard
    copy but did not turn in a disk of the har copy. Tratos informed applicant that he had neither a hard
    copy nor a disc of the paper. Applicant dmitted that he did not turn in a disk, but insisted that he had
    turned in a hard copy of the paper. He s bmitted an affidavit of a student who said she saw him turn
    in a hard copy of the final paper. Appli ant was unable to locate the final draft of his paper on the
    hard disk. There were several e-mails exchanged between Tratos and applicant regarding hiring
    someone to try and retrieve the paper fr m his hard drive. At some point it was decided that hiring
    someone was too cost prohibitive.

    A p licant was able to locate a rough draft of the paper and

    received a passing grade in the class.


    As a result of this incident, a stu ent code of conduct complaint was filed against applicant
    and the school conducted an investigat on as to whether he provided false statements to Tratos
    regarding the submittal of a required pap r for the cyberlaw course. On November 27,2001, UNLV
    found that academic dishonesty did not occur. At the same time, the school advised applicant to
    consider the decision as a formal letter 0 warning.

    The committee asserts that appl cant misrepresented the outcome of this investigation and the
    evidence.
    In the attachment to his Septe ber 28, 2002 application,applicant wrote:
    "Secondly,the State Bar of Ne ada informed me that another concern regarding my
    application arose out of an aca emic dishonesty in,,:estigation that was completey
    resolved in my favor in Dec
    ber of 2001.. Dunng the course of the academIC
    investigation and subsequent N vada Bar inqiry everal students signed affidavits
    .
    indicating that they had in fact een me tum III thIS pper. ... For esons t?at e hll
    .
    very unclear to me,Mr. Tratos t en instIgated an offiCIal academIC IllvestigatlOn mto
    whether or not I actually wrot the paper when it was do [sic]. After the student
    judicial affairs officer for my I w school conducted a full investigation...the matter
    was resolved with a finding th t no academic dishonesty took place on my part."
    [Emphasis added.]
    . .

    The committee argues that ap icant was disingenuous when he stated that the academic
    dishonesty investigation was "complet Iy resolved in [his] favor" because the investigation was in
    fact resolved with a formal letter of w mingo Also,contrary to applicant's statement that several
    students had signed supporting affidavi s,only one affidavit was ever submitted to the Nevada State
    Bar in relation to the inquiry.
    While applicant had clearly exa gerated the outcome of the investigation in that it was not
    "completely" resolved in his favor,give the formal letter of warning,and only one affidavit,and not
    several affidavits, was signed, the

    ourt does not find that applicant had made material

    misrepresentations. That standing alon does not reflect on his moral character.
    However,what is of more conce

    to this court in terms of whether applicant misrepresented

    the outcome of the investigation is appli ant's behavior surrounding the investigation. Based on the
    e-mails exchanged between applicant an Tratos.it is clear that Tratos took no position with respect
    to whether applicant had written or not

    ritten the paper. Tratos offered to help applicant retrieve

    his "lost paper" by paying for a data reco ery service. Instead, applicant sent unprofessional e-mails
    that unnecessarily escalated a frustrating situation for both applicant and Tratos. At the hearing in
    this matter,Tratos testified that he foun the e-mails troubling and irrational and that no professor
    would be comfortable in getting those co espondence. Thus,applicant's conduct negatively reflects
    on his moral character.

    Law School Compute

    $100 Restitution Fee

    13.1 of the applicatio

    states: "Have you ever been dropped, suspended, expelled,

    or otherwise disciplined by any school

    r any reason other than academic performance? If yes, state

    Question

    the reasons fully below, providing the n me of the school, the date, the reasons for discipline, and the
    final disposition."
    Applicant marked the box "yes' and stated:
    " I was fined $100 by UNLV fo moving a com puter monitor & keyboard
    attach to my computer for an h ur in Dec 01, 2002."

    10 feet

    to

    The committee contends that ap licant made misrepresentations about his scholastic discipline
    in this matter because he gave the wron date of the incident (the correct date was October

    his explanation did not address why

    11, 2001),

    e was fined and he failed to state that he did not have

    authorization to disconnect the compu er. In fact, he was assessed a

    $100

    restitution fee for the

    university staff time to reconnect and c eck the computer systems. And, he used the computer for
    personal, nonacademic work without p rmission.
    The court does not find that ap licant made material misrepresentations regarding the law
    school computer. Stating an incorrect

    $100

    fine was adequate.

    ate of the incident is immaterial and his reasoning for the

    This charact rization of the computer incident standing alone does not

    reflect on his moral character.


    However, what does reflect on

    s moral character is his testimony about the incident at this

    hearing. Applicant testified that he was not sure whether he had authorization to use the computer
    and that he simply knew that he needed

    0 download a program from the school computer to get his

    laptop working. Applicant's testimony s not credible. He knew or should have known that he had
    no authorization to dismantle a comput r monitor, keyboard and mouse set up in the microforms
    room of the UNLV Law Library as the c mputer was in an area not for general student use.

    B.

    Applicant's Misrepresentat ons


    1.

    Employment History

    a.

    UNL V Law Lib ary Clerk

    Applicant was employed by th law library at UNLV from October 1999 through May 2000
    and was terminated from that positio

    for poor performance and for taking $10 from the library

    change drawer without permission. Th committee contends that because applicant omitted from his
    initial September 2002 application abou the UNLV library employment, he made a misrepresentation
    regarding his employment history. W en explaining his failure to include this employment in his
    application, applicant stated:

    "I did not feel that working as


    duties included checking in and
    employment, as described in th
    4.2. Further, it was my belief th
    six months' (the instructions for
    longer than six months .. . ' ). I
    period during the winter break fr

    front desk attendant at the law library, where my


    ut books and shelving books constituted law related
    moral character applications instructions to Section
    t I had not worked at the law library for 'longer than
    his section call for listing employment that' ...lasted
    as not employed at the law library for an extended
    m classes in December 1999 through January 2000."

    Yet,in his application for admi sion to the State Bar of Nevada filed on February 2,2001,
    applicant listed the dates of his emplo

    ent at the law library as October 1999 through May 2000.

    He confirmed the dates of October 1999

    ough May 2000 at the formal hearing before the State Bar

    of Nevada on March 1,2002.


    The court does not find that this

    mission was a misrepresentation as the application for the

    .
    Nevada State Bar seeks different informa on from that of the California State Bar. The Nevada State
    Bar asked for information on all empl yment whereas the California State Bar asked for any
    employment history that lasted longer th n six months. Since applicant indicated that he was not
    employed in December through January uring the winter break, there is no clear and convincing
    evidence that his employment lasted long r than six months. Thus, he was not obligated to provide
    information about his law library emplo

    ent. Moreover, characterizing his termination as due to

    "managerial conflicts" on the Nevada app ication and explaining on the California application that
    he was borrowing the $10 overnight and re

    rned the money the next morning was sufficient. There

    is no clear and convincing evidence that hi borrowing the $10 on an emergency basis reflected upon
    his moral character.

    b.

    The committee presented cle

    and convincing evidence that applicant


    misrepresented the
    reason for his termination from the I
    w firm of Schuering, Zimmerman & Scu
    lly in Sacramento,
    California. On February 23, 2003, ap
    licant told the California State Bar that
    the law firm let him
    go because of his recent arrest. But 0
    the same day,he told the Nevada State
    Bar that he was let go
    because he was not licensed in Nevada
    and that the Supreme Court's deferment
    order was too far out
    for them to keep him employed.
    The court finds that these discr pancies
    evidence a lack of candor.2
    2.

    U.S. Patent and Trad

    ark Office

    The committee contends that in is applica


    tion,applicant did not disclose that

    he was applying
    to take the examination with the U.S
    . atent and Trademark Office in Oct
    ober 2002 and that he
    misrepresented his status as an "Agent'
    when he should have been listed as an
    "Attorney" since he
    was a member of the Nevada State
    Bar.
    Applicant passed the October
    "Agent " with the U.S. Patent and Tra
    de
    update,applicant provided a cop

    2 02

    examination and on May

    2, 2003, he

    ark Office lice

    was listed as an

    In his May 31,2004

    nse,listing applicant
    as "Agent. " In his February 15,200
    7 upd te,applicant stated
    that he was " [l]icensed as a patent
    agent
    since May of 2003 (though upo
    n beco ing an attorney that
    may now be classified as a
    patent
    attorney. " As of the hearing, app
    licant i listed as an "Agen t" wit
    h the U.S. Patent and Tradem
    ark
    Office.
    According to the U.S. Patent
    and rademark Office,if app
    licant wanted to seek registratio
    n
    as an attorney, he had to submi
    t an origi al certificate of goo
    d standing issued within the
    last six
    months from the Nevada Supre
    me Court. ut because applica
    nt's membership with the Ne
    vada State
    Bar has been conditional, the
    re is no clea and convincing
    evidence that he was in good
    standing.
    2A year later,in his May 31,20
    04 pdate to the Califo
    rnia bar,applicant finally
    reconciled the differences and
    indicated th t he was terminat
    ed
    "due to not being licensed in
    Nevada or California. " In his
    February 15 2007 update,he
    again reiterated that he was let
    "due to the unexpected delay in
    go
    becoming icensed to practice
    law in Nevada. "

    -9-

    Moreover, applicant was not required


    to regi
    an "Agent" with the U.S. Patent and

    ster as an patent attorney and had a cho


    ice to remain as

    T ademark Office. Therefore, he did


    not misrepresent his stat

    us
    as an agent. His failure to mention
    0 the application that he was
    taking the patent and trademark
    examination is insignificant and doe
    s ot reflect on his moral character.
    3.

    Substance Abuse

    More importantly,the commi tee pres


    ented clear and convincing evidenc
    e that applicant
    misrepresented his relationship with
    a cohol and treatment for alcohol abu
    se to the committee.
    In his March 19, 2003 update to the
    application,applicant responded to
    the committee's
    request for information about his rela
    ti nship with drugs and alcohol as foll
    ows:

    "I started drinking alcohol in y earl


    y twenties and have never been mor
    e than a
    social drinker . . . I have not en
    referred to any treatment programs
    for drug or
    alcohol abuse,nor am I current y em
    olled in treatment. "
    In fact,as part of applicant's no 0 con
    tendere plea to a violation of Californ
    ia Vehicle Code
    23103 on March 11, 2003, applica
    nt as ordered to attend eight Alc
    oholics Anonymous (AA)
    meetings on June 10,2003. He com
    plie with this condition. In additio
    n, at the informal conference
    with the committee on july 8,2004,
    appl cant for the first time admitte
    d to having a history of alcohol
    abuse and been a member of AA sinc
    e anuary 1, 2002.
    Therefore, the court finds that a
    plicant lacked candor in his Ma
    rch 19, 2003 update,given
    that he was ordered to attend eig
    ht AA eetings and that he had
    a history of alcoholism.
    When applicant admitted to alco
    01 abuse at the informal con
    ference,the committee advised
    applicant that it would not recom
    mend hi admission but offered
    to hold his application in abeyan
    ce
    until January 13, 2005, so that the
    comm ttee could evaluate his rec
    overy from abuse. On july 19,
    2004,applicant executed a Sti
    pulation Pu suant to Rule X, Sec
    tion 4 (abeyance stipulation) wh
    erein
    he agreed to have his recovery
    from alco 01 abuse monitored
    by LAP. On June 24, 2005, app
    licant
    provided an Authorization for Dis
    closure d Release of Informatio
    n which allowed LAP to disclo
    se
    information to the committee abo
    ut appli ant's participation in LA
    P.
    On June 30,2005,applicant em

    ---- -------

    Significantly, at this hearing, pplican


    t was completely evasive about

    his alcohol abuse. He


    testified that he was not sure of the da
    e of his sobriety and whether he consum
    ed any alcohol in the
    past four years. Applicant did not pres
    nt any credible evidence on why he was
    terminated from LAP.
    On one hand, he claimed that he did
    n t know why he was terminated from
    LAP. On the other hand,
    he claimed that he was terminated fro
    LAP because he would not let LAP jeo
    pardize his physical
    well-being. In other word, applicant'
    reasoning is without merit.

    March 11, 2003 nUl

    The committee presented clea and con


    vincing evidence that applicant misrepr
    esented the
    events surrounding his January 2003
    UI arrest in his March 19, 2003 update
    to the committee.
    As previously found, in January 003
    , applicant was arrested for driving a mot
    or vehicle under
    the influence of marijuana and late
    r pI d nolo contendere to a violation
    of California Vehicle Code
    section 23103, reckless driving. In
    his arch 19, 2003 update to his
    application, applicant stated:
    "While I would like to point ou
    that I was not under the influence
    of any drug when
    I was pulled over for having my
    seat belt unfastened, I must admit
    that I had smoked
    marijuana in the weeks preced
    ' g my arrest. I often wore the
    same sweater I was
    wearing the night I was arrested
    . I would were [sic] it almost nig
    htly to avoid turning
    on the heat in my apartment. The
    off
    from nights when I had previous icer must have smelled marijuana on that sweater
    y smoked marijuana. "
    Applicant misrepresented the
    ev nts surrounding his arrest
    as evidenced by the following
    :
    1) a urine sample tested pos
    itive for m ijuana; 2) the arr
    esting officer noted that app
    licant had
    bloodshot, watery eyes, was uns
    teady on is feet and had a stro
    ng odor of marijuana emanated
    from
    his automobile, person and
    breath; and ) applicant's ina
    bility to perform any of the
    field sobriety
    tests administered by the arrest
    ing office .
    Moreover, California Highway
    Pat 01 Officer Jeff George, the
    arresting officer in that incide
    nt,
    testified at this hearing that
    applicant w clearly under
    the influence of marijuana
    when he was
    arrested. The officer testified
    that applic nt was unsteady
    on his.feet, his gums were coa
    ted with
    green pasty film and he was
    unable to per orm the field
    sobriety test.

    At this hearing,applicant argued
    th t he did not report the evictio

    that he did not report the Shippi

    he therefore thought he

    On October 14, 2001,applicant


    As he was running away from theater

    as arrested after sneaking into a Las Veg

    p sonnel,he was caught and accused


    of

    matter was ultimately dismissed in Jan

    as movie theater.

    resisting arrest. The

    u ry 2002.

    Applicant was not required to re ort


    the arrest on his application becaus
    e it was dismissed.
    Nevertheless,he did report it after
    the c
    ittee made an inquiry into the arre
    st. The incident was
    insignificant as to his moral charac
    ter.
    E.

    Substance Abuse and Menta


    l

    The committee requested a foren


    ie/clinical assessment of applica
    nt,focusing in particular
    on whether he currently suffers
    from alco I abuse or other dru
    g abuse or dependency,and if so,
    what
    if any monitoring,testing or trea
    tment is
    Accordingly,Dr. Douglas E. Tuc
    k r,a board certified physician
    in

    the field of medicine and


    psychiatry,examined applica
    nt on April 7, 2007. He reporte
    d that applicant met the diagno
    stic
    criteria for alcohol and mariju
    ana abuse
    defined in the DSM-IV TR (Di
    agnostic and Statistical
    Manual,4th edition,of the Am
    erican Pysch atric Association,
    2000). He also reported that
    applicant
    received a score of 14 on the
    Michigan A coholism Screening
    Test,a diagnostic questionnaire
    in
    which a score of three points
    or less is considered nonalc
    oholic, four points is sugges
    tive of
    alcoholism,and five points or mo
    re indica es a diagnosis of alcoho
    lism.
    _

    -14-

    addition to alcohol and rna ijuana abuse, Dr. Tucker


    determined that applicant met the
    diagnostic criteria for other psychiatric isorders which
    contribute to his liability to abuse substances.
    These included ADHD Combined Typ (Attention Defic
    it-Hyperactivity Disorder), chronic back and
    neck pain, chronic depression, and pass ve-aggressive
    and oppositional-defiant personality traits. Dr.
    Tucker could not testify as to whether pplicant is curre
    ntly abusing alcohol or marijuana.
    Finally, Dr. Tucker reported th t applicant has clinically
    significant pathological personality
    traits which have led to distress as weI as psychosocial
    and professional impairment. Applicant's
    behavior surrounding the academic dis onesty investigati
    on by UNLV demonstrates that at the time
    of the incident he suffered from this p hological personality
    trait.
    In

    The court is concerned whether pplicant is currently abusi


    ng alcohol and marijuana such
    it would impair his ability to function

    that

    a lawyer and/or impact on his moral character.

    Applicant was deliberately evas ve on the issue of alcoh


    olism on his application, during his
    deposition and at this hearing. For ex mple, applicant
    was unable to tell the court anything about
    his sobriety, other than the fact that he ttended AA
    meetings. Therefore, this court cannot at this
    time resolve any reasonable doubts on t e issue
    of alcohol in applicant's favor because of his lack
    of
    candor and his failure to present any evi ence
    of his current state of sobriety.
    Moreover, applicant's mental st ility concerns
    this court. Associate Dean Christine Smith
    of the law school at UNLV testified that hile
    applicant was a student at UNLV, she thou
    ght he had
    substance abuse/mental health issues b
    cause applicant exhibited several instance
    s of irrational
    behavior where he escalated and misinte
    reted certain encounters.
    Similarly, at this hearing, applic

    t repeatedly conducted himself in a mos


    t unprofessional

    manner, raising sufficiently serious que


    st ons regarding his mental condition. In
    particular, when he
    cross-examined the witnesses, his behavi
    r was troUbling. Applicant ignored the
    court's instructions
    and berated his cyberlaw instructor, Trat
    s, as well as his school, during the test
    imony regarding
    applicant's 2001 academic dishonesty
    i estigation. He was totally disrespe
    ctful, unnecessarily
    hostile, and downright rude and arro
    gan to Highway Patrol Officer Jeff
    George concerning his
    January 2003 DUI arrest. And, when
    th Las Vegas Metropolitan Police
    Officer Juan Cho was
    testifying about the 2001 movie thea
    ter arrest, applicant was totally unp
    rofessional, rude, and

    -15-

    belligerent towards the officer. He c nstantly interr


    upted the officer's testimony and belittled him
    at every opportunity.
    Thus, applicant's substance a use and mental health
    stability are at issue and unres

    olved.

    VI. Applicant

    as Failed to Prove His Rehabilitation

    This court has found that the ommittee has sustained


    its burden of proof in rebutting the
    applicant's prima facie case with res ct to the follo
    wing claims: applicant's lack of candor at his
    deposition and material omissions fro and misreprese
    ntations on his application regarding various
    issues,such as his misconduct at UNL ,employment
    history, substance abuse,DDI conviction,court
    appearances, civil actions, residential ddresses, finan
    cial obligations and mental health.
    Applicant has the burden to es blish his rehabilitat
    ion. But very little, if any, evidence was
    offered by applicant with respect to hi rehabilitation.
    Seeking admission calls for "a high degree of frank
    ness and truthfulness on the part of the
    [applicant] making application for adm ssion to
    practice law in this state,but no good reason pres
    ents
    itself why such a high standard of integ ity shou
    ld not be required. This duty to make a full
    disclose
    is an absolute duty." (Spears v. The St te Bar
    (1930) 211 Cal. 183, 187.)
    Applicant is under a continuing obligati
    on to keep his applica

    tion current and must update


    responses whenever there is an additi
    n to or a change to information previous
    ly furnished the
    committee. (Rules Regulating Admissi
    n to Practice Law, rule VI, 7.)
    Although applicant submitted si upd
    ates on his application from January

    2007, the information provided wer


    e no true updates in that they were
    not cha

    2003 to February

    nges to information
    previously furnished the committee.
    Bu rather, applicant was constantly
    amending his application
    due to his repeated significant omissi
    o s from the application. Applica
    nt cannot show that his
    repeated failure to fully disclose info
    rmat on on his application was uninten
    tional or mere negligence.
    (Cf. Hallinan v. Committee ofBar
    Exa iners (1966) 65 Ca1.2d 447,
    473.) More importantly, the
    material and numerous omissions not
    onl reflect applicant's cavalier atti
    tude toward the application
    process but also reflect adversely on
    his oral fitness to practice law.
    (Cf. In re Gossage (2000) 23
    Cal.4th 1080, 1098.)

    -16--'--- ----

    Moreover, applicant's omissi

    s not only reflect a pattern of lack of candor but also a lack of

    appreciation for details and full discl ure in documents he verifies under penalty of perjury as true
    and complete. Completion of the ap ication is not merely an exercise on the way to admission to
    practice. (Cf. In the Matter of Gidd ns (Review Dept. 1990) 1 Cal. State Bar Ct. Rptr. 25, 34.)
    Repeated acts of negligence or omiss' n may constitute moral turpitude and "prove as great a lack
    of fitness to practice law as affirmative violations of duty." (Bruns v. The State Bar (1941) 1 8 Cal.2d
    667, 672.)
    Applicant has a heavy burden

    this case. Considering the mUltiple acts of misconduct, he

    must present evidence of rehabilitation by his sustained conduct over an extended period of time that
    he is a person of good moral character Cases authorizing admission on the basis of rehabilitation
    commonly involve a substantial perio of exemplary conduct following the applicant's misdeeds.
    (In re Gossage, supra, 23 Cal. 4th at p. 1 096; see also Kwasnik v. State Bar (1990) 50 Ca1.3d 1 06 1 ,

    1 07 1 -1 072 [emphasizing seven or eigh -year period that elapsed since applicant wrongfully evaded
    payment of a civil judgment]; Martin B

    v.

    Committee olBar Examiners (1983) 33 Ca1.3d 7 17, 726

    [emphasizing nine-year unblemished r cord after applicant was accused of rape as a Marine]; Hall
    v.

    Committee olBar Examiners (1979) 5 Cal.3d 730, 742 [emphasizing six-year period in which no

    complaints were lodged against applic nt's employment business after his business license was
    temporarily suspended by an administr ive agency].)
    Here, applicant did not present an evidence of rehabilitation over a substantial period of time.
    It is clear that in the past applicant ha alcohol abuse problems. What little evidence applicant
    presented on rehabilitation with respect t alcoholism was all self-reported. In short, there was little
    credible evidence presented that applica

    no longer has a substance abuse problem. Also, applicant

    appears to be suffering from certain psyc iatric disorders including ADHD, chronic depression, and
    passive-aggressive and oppositional-defi nt personality traits, which appeared to have affected his
    behavior in this trial. Applicant's conduc was unprofessional and troubling. He was never on time
    for the hearing and he randomly berated

    d belittled witnesses under circumstances where it made

    no sense.

    -17--------------

    Whether an individual is a fit

    d proper person to be permitted to practice law usually turns

    upon whether that person has commi ed or is likely to continue to commit acts of moral turpitude.
    (Hallinan

    v.

    Committee of Bar Exa iners (1966) 65 Ca1.2d 447, 453.) Applicant's repeated

    violations of his absolute duty of

    ankness and truthfulness during the admissions process

    demonstrate that he has yet to attai

    the state of mind necessary to achieve reformation and

    regeneration and is little different fro

    the person who behaved so poorly in the past. Furthermore,

    his evasive testimony regarding his al ohol abuse evidencing lack of candor precludes any finding
    of exemplary conduct over a meaning I period of time. Therefore,the court cannot conclude that
    applicant is not likely to continue to c

    mit acts of moral turpitude.

    Each act of applicant's misco duct is not so serious as to find him lacking good moral
    character. But,in examining the combi ed record of his multiple acts,particularly his lack of candor
    and irrational,combative behavior thr ughout these proceedings,the court is confronted not by
    isolated or uncharacteristic acts but by a continuing course of misconduct extending over a period of
    several years. The risk of applicant repe ting this misconduct is considerable. Thus,the court cannot
    find applicant to possess the requisite g od moral character for admission.
    Nevertheless,it is possible that i applicant submits an application that is detailed, complete
    and accurate,if he seeks and undergoes ubstance abuse/mental health treatment over

    an

    extended

    period of time,if he can show good fa th in satisfying the judgment creditors,and if he obtains
    unconditional admittance to the Nevada tate Bar in 2008,then applicant may be heading to the right
    direction in satisfying his heavy burden

    ith such favorable evidence of exemplary conduct over a

    lengthy period to demonstrate rehabilitat on.


    But, as of now, based on the

    aterial omissions from and misrepresentations on the

    application,applicant's failure to satisfy h s financial obligations,his evasive testimony regarding his


    substance abuse issues and his erratic,h stile and belligerent behavior at trial,the court finds that
    applicant has failed to demonstrate his re abilitation.

    -18-

    II. CONCLUSION

    Therefore, applicant Zachary Barker Coughlin has failed to establish that he currently
    possesses the requisite good moral c

    acter for admission to the practice of law in the State of

    California.

    Zach,

    I only want to confirm w/ Debra that theres a reason for you to be in this program and that it wont be another
    exercise in futility. So, the conversation Im planning on having will be one way w/ her talking.

    Re: documents, you signed a blank authorization for CBX, no boxes checked to indicate what can be
    discussed?????????
    You also signed a blank authorization No contact person or what youre limiting the subject to?????
    And finally, I received the 2nd page of an Evaluation Plan. Wheres the first page?

    Please start at the beginning. Call me and complete a phone intake. I will then provide the necessary
    documents. This is only wasting yours and my time.

    Dear Mrs. Poley,

    I do not object to your speaking with Mrs. Lawson about anything other than
    comments (including questions based on hypothetical situations) that I may have
    made to you after being assured they were confidential and privileged.

    To address your question of the doctoring of any documents, the agreement was
    modified in accord with an agreement Mr. Fishkin made with Janice Thibault.
    Please let me know if you are referring to any type of changes that Mr. Fishkin
    may have made that are not otherwise part of that agreement with Janice
    Thibault.

    If you are referring to any such changes, please identify them

    specifically, in writing, to both Mr. Fishkin and myself at your earliest convenience.
    I left a message for you yesterday, June 14th, 2005, in an attempt to proceed with the LAP's evaluation
    pursuant to the Abeyance Agreement. I will try to reach you again today.
    Sincerely,
    Zach Coughlin, Esq.

    Zach,

    As I indicated to you previously, I need you to complete a phone intake with me. Once done, I will present you
    with the necessary documents for signature. You cant sign these documents before youve even entered our
    program. I am available at 10:00 am or 2 pm on Wed if you would like to talk then.

    Please stop trying to do this your way or your attorneys way. We have a protocol that we need to follow, as
    does the CBX. Please let me know if Wed. will work for you.

    Yeah, well, sometimes she does that. And it is best if you communicate directly with her. And common sense
    indeed says you should keep me informed. Of course contact me if you have any questions.
    Most of my clients have felt ok dealing with her. But her feathers are ruffled. Any time a person does
    something different in a bureaucratic setting, you do upset the bureaucrats. Cest la vie. If she does ask
    about our communications, tell her that I am your attorney and our communications are privileged and that
    you decline to waive the privilege. Then make a record of her request and her response.
    Keep in mind that the very first client of mine to go into LAP was anti LAP and told all of them that I
    recommended he not go into LAP. Some people realize that my advice to that client was client specific;
    others think Im anti LAP.

    Cest la vie.

    Zach,

    A couple of questions please. While you touched on your spiritual growth, were you raised attending church or do
    you attend church now? If so, which one?

    Thats it. I never received your authorization back to speak to Dr. Wong. Im looking forward to meeting you next
    week, Aug 18th.

    It is ironic that Pam Poley resents my representation, but then about 20% of the time, I do
    get into the face of one or more LAP people. They dont like it. They dont notice the number
    of times I encourage my clients to join LAP and cooperate fully.
    I dont think that confronting Poley over the attorney issue benefits you, so unless you can
    see some benefit to it, I wont say anything. About all you have to do is either say no
    comment, or reply that you are comfortable with my representing you. If she pushes you
    further than that, ask her to put her concerns in writing.
    In the meantime, lets assume that she does not send me copies of anything, and you just
    send me copies. PDF or mail or fax; whatever is convenient.
    LAP has no control over you once you are admitted. Period. They cannot force you to
    continue. My one BIG caveat is, it is really important that you participate in activity or

    activities that keep you sober. Most of my clients are fans of regular AA attendance and
    believe that AA (or here, The Other Bar) is the primary pillar of strength towards keeping
    them sober.
    As for the rest, you are looking at about 6 8 months of participation in LAPs program with
    LAPs rules. If you dont, you are likely not going to be admitted in California, at least not
    without the liklihood of a formal court battle. So your decision is, go along with the CBX
    abeyance and cooperate with LAP for that period of time; or refuse to do so and see what
    CBX does; or withdraw your moral character application.
    Current California case law says, once there is proof that you have a history of alcoholism, it
    is your burden of proof to show that you have it under management and control. California
    generally uses a minimum 2 year sobriety rule. While participation in a formal program is
    not a legal requirements, it is very very difficult for anyone to prove years of continued
    sobriety without a formal program of some sort. Thus, AA or Other Bar or LAP or . . . .

    Send me a letter that I can send directly to CBX. You tell LAP directly on
    your own.

    Also, you should be getting my check any day now, unfortunately I did not get it to
    the mailbox soon enough for the Saturday pickup, but it is coming, I promise.
    Thank you.
    During my evaluation there were a couple things I should note. One, Mrs.
    Thibault asked me when the CBX was expecting something from LAP. I told her
    that I did not know for sure. She informed me that it was my responsibility to find
    out this information and report it to LAP. I plan on doing so, but I expect that the
    CBX will not speak to me as I am represented. If it is okay with you, I would like
    to see if there is a way that I can do these sorts of things without troubling you or
    your staff, ie, the legwork of this case.
    CBX expects a report from LAP about your progress, and within six
    months of your signing up.
    It is generally less time consuming for me to do these things than to tell
    you what to look out for. And since I am your attorney, CBX wont deal
    with you directly anyhow. I will make a note to write Thibault and tell
    her what CBX wants.

    Second, in the materials that Poley did provide to Weiner and Otterness was a
    printout from my pharmacy showing all my medications for the last six months.
    Did I error by providing this? Its gives fairly detailed information on miligrams
    and quantities and I am wondering if I should have given a more general
    description to them.
    The details are fine. CBX wants LAP to evaluate you for sobriety. I
    generally do not worry about a prescription drug regimine, where you
    have an informed doctor with a reasonable basis for treatment. We
    should assume that around the time LAP reports to CBX, we may want a
    report from your doctor as to what you take and why. Or, if LAP gets a
    report from him, you would ask him to make a copy for me to send to CBX.
    I would like to put together a package of all the stuff I have sent Poley (the letters
    of rec., attendance at meetings papers, sponsor letter, psychologist reports) and
    submit them to Dr. Weiner and N. Otterness, Ph.D. in addition to a copy of the
    certificate of mailing/delivery confirmation slip I have from when I sent all of this
    documentation to Poley in December 2004. I want to do this just to give the
    appearance that I am on top of things and one who dot the "i's" and crosses the
    "t's". Please let me know if you are against this. Of course, I would make sure
    any communication on my behalf had a very respectful and conservative tone.
    Fine with me.

    addiction medicine can be found on the following website: http://www.csam-asam.org

    I have contacted Jerry Fishkin a number of times and while he is returning my calls, we appears (?) reluctant to leave any
    kind of word on your drug testing on my voicemail. Ive also tried to set up an appointment to speak to him but havent been
    successful.

    I spoke to your therapist the other day and reviewed your Participation Plan w/ him. He is now aware of what you need to
    accomplish to be considered compliant. Perhaps he can help you as well.

    Thanks Pam,
    I appreciate your sending this form and for helping me understand everything that I need to do or
    correct in reference to the packet I sent in late December. I am tending to all the matters we discussed
    on the phone (Dr. Rasul report, Dr. Wong check for licensure in addictionology, Dr. O'Gara report,
    Updated Pharmacy Report with check on best form for production-most official and complete,
    well-being monitor report complete with authorization-roi).
    Dr. Wong's website page is pasted below. I do not believe it speaks to whether he is licensed in
    addictionology. I researched addictionology briefly though and it seems that there might be more than
    one licensing body for that field (as is the case with many specialities). Is there a certain body that the
    license in addictionology should be from, or is any widely recognized body sufficient? I have several
    messages into Dr. Wong's office and some of the addicionology licensing organizations for the purpose
    of determining whether Dr. Wong is qualified to submit an addiction evaluation.
    I am working diligently on these matters and will have them to you as soon as possible. I apologize for
    my confusion and the delay.

    I have messages in to several addictionologists in Reno, however, to use my insurance I must procure a

    soon as I have an appropriate review completed.
    Apparently, Jerry Fishkin was in trial for an extended period of time, and is now on vacation, I believe,
    so my ability to communicate with counsel has been slowed somewhat, which is not usual at all in my
    dealings with Mr. Fishkin's office, i.e., I believe they are quite busy right now. However, I have been
    contacted by personnel from the firm and we are getting communications for the attorney client
    relationship in order.
    However, recently, my Grandfather in Dayton, Ohio passed away and I was unavailable for
    communications for an extended period while travelling to and attending my grandfather's funeral in
    Dayton, Ohio. This included a day and a half stay at Chicago O'Hare's snow covered airport. Also,
    during and following this trip I developed a severe stomach flu and was quite ill for an extended period
    of time, thus, I apologize for the delay on my part with respect to delivering the materials discussed in
    our last telephone conversation. Please look for these materials today or tomorrow at your

    Zach,

    It does not appear from Dr Wongs limited biography that he is an addictionologist. Physicians who specialize in
    addiction medicine can be found on the following website: http://www.csam-asam.org
    /find_csam_physicians.vp.html While this contains info on CA docs, there is a link for other states as well.

    Here is a perfect example in your area:

    I have contacted Jerry Fishkin a number of times and while he is returning my calls, we appears (?) reluctant to leave any
    kind of word on your drug testing on my voicemail. Ive also tried to set up an appointment to speak to him but havent been
    successful.

    I spoke to your therapist the other day and reviewed your Participation Plan w/ him. He is now aware of what you need to
    accomplish to be considered compliant. Perhaps he can help you as well.

    I have yet to receive the ROI (release of information) back that I sent to you for your Well Being Monitor. Please decide
    who you want to use, sign the form and send it back to me. I will then contact that person and make sure they understand
    their role and are an appropriate choice.

    Thanks Pam,
    I appreciate your sending this form and for helping me understand everything that I need to do or
    correct in reference to the packet I sent in late December. I am tending to all the matters we
    discussed on the phone (Dr. Rasul report, Dr. Wong check for licensure in addictionology, Dr. O'Gara
    report, Updated Pharmacy Report with check on best form for production-most official and complete,
    well-being monitor report complete with authorization-roi).
    Dr. Wong's website page is pasted below. I do not believe it speaks to whether he is licensed in
    addictionology. I researched addictionology briefly though and it seems that there might be more
    than one licensing body for that field (as is the case with many specialities). Is there a certain body
    that the license in addictionology should be from, or is any widely recognized body sufficient? I have
    several messages into Dr. Wong's office and some of the addicionology licensing organizations for the
    purpose of determining whether Dr. Wong is qualified to submit an addiction evaluation.
    I am working diligently on these matters and will have them to you as soon as possible. I apologize
    for my confusion and the delay.

    Please leave a message for your doctor, to determine if he is certified by a recognized body
    to do addiction evaluations. If not, ask him to send a letter that sets forth his qualifications to
    do an evaluation.
    Prepare a letter to Poley along the following lines; please send me your DRAFT so we can
    finalize it. BE sure to check it for factual accuracy. And I may decide its better not to send
    it, than to send it. Well talk.

    This is a follow up to Thursdays conversation. I first want to confirm that one of my tires
    went flat outside of Auburn, which is why I called. I first understood that I was going to be
    patched into a meeting by phone, but then LAP decided against it. I did request to be seen
    late but I gather that my request was turned down.
    It is my understanding that LAP is now going to file a report without the follow up from me. If
    that is so, then I will not engage in the follow up. Otherwise, I had understood that there
    were two more things LAP wanted. First, you wanted an evaluation from a medical doctor
    certified by a recognized body of addiction doctors. I have asked my treating physician, Dr
    ________________________________ , but he has not gotten back to me. If he is not, I will
    look for one. Id appreciate it if you told me the names of recognized organizations, so I
    know what to look for.
    You also inquired if I had undergone drug or alcohol testing in Nevada. The answer is, no. If
    you want me to go get tested, let me know, and I will.
    I think that my relationship with LAP has been mutually unsatisfactory since the beginning.
    Its obvious that you are unhappy with me. I dont think another six months with LAP, as you
    suggested, would do anyone any good. I have been sober since
    _________________________________ and I have stayed sober by my Nevada activities,
    which include (specify) __________________ . I do not think that its fair for LAP to ask me
    to duplicate things I do and document in Nevada.

    We have both received Pam Poley's letter of March 8, 2006. Therefore, the project of writing her is now obsolete.
    You have two choices as I see them. One is to accept Poley's offer; the second is to deal directly with CBX. They
    both have pros and cons.
    Your relationship with LAP has been star crossed since the beginning. I doubt that another six months will
    accomplish anything for you. However, if you did do another six months, AND if it met with their approval, your
    chances of admission would be excellent. IF there were a continuation of problems, your chances of admission
    would be slim. Given Poley's comments to you about me, however, I think this option works better if you fire me
    (at least for six months!).
    I do think that the alternative approach is to provide CBX with a thorough rendition of your sobriety -- a report
    from your doctor, copies of your Nevada attendance, letters from people in your AA group, etc. This approach
    assumes that CBX would recognize that not everyone benefits from LAP. Also, it gives credence to the argument
    that you are sober and staying sober, but that trying to add LAP in California on top of your Nevada work is just
    too much. I think there is a reasonable chance that this would work.
    There are no guarantees of course. EIther way might work; either way might fail. I am inclined toward the second
    approach because it is consistent with your actions, therefore intellectually honest. And I doubt that you plus LAP
    works. That goes double if Poley continues to tell you I'm the problem.
    I would like to contact CBX and determine what sort of deadline we are under. However, the sooner you get to me,
    all of the Nevada information, the faster I can act on your behalf

    I will be in the office all day today and Thursday. Feel free to set a specific time for a phone appointment.

    Dr Wong hopefully will be more thorough than Dr Rasul, who basically said you're ok without explaining why.
    We do get to submit something. We may get to See LAP's report.

    I am working on the narrative, Dr. Wong is faxing me his report (and today I spoke with
    him and he said he is NOT licensed with any addictionology board. However, he is faxing
    a short report just in case its useful. Should I schedule a meeting with a physician who is a
    licensed addictionologist and get a report?
    Lastly, from your email on the 16th you mentioned needing a copy of Poley's letter, but I
    am under the impression you received one and do not need a copy now.

    I do think that the alternative approach is to provide CBX with a thorough rendition of your sobriety -- a report from your doctor,
    copies of your Nevada attendance, letters from people in your AA group, etc. This approach assumes that CBX would recognize that
    not everyone benefits from LAP. Also, it gives credence to the argument that you are sober and staying sober, but that trying to add
    LAP in California on top of your Nevada work is just too much. I think there is a reasonable chance that this would work.

    There are no guarantees of course. EIther way might work; either way might fail. I am inclined toward the second approach because
    it is consistent with your actions, therefore intellectually honest. And I doubt that you plus LAP works. That goes double if Poley
    continues to tell you I'm the problem.

    I would like to contact CBX and determine what sort of deadline we are under. However, the sooner you get to me, all of the Nevada
    information, the faster I can act on your behalf

    I will be in the office all day today and Thursday. Feel free to set a specific time for a phone appointment.

    Hello Ms. Poley,


    I am writing to seek clarification in regard to some of the instructions I received at the evaluation that took place on August
    19th, 2005. Ms. Thibault indicated to me during the evaluation that it was my responsibility to inform LAP of the time or
    date at which the California Bar wanted to receive something from LAP.

    I am writing to get clarification in regard to whom I should call or write about this at the California Bar. Further, can you
    clarify what it is that the California Bar will be wanting from LAP in the event that I am asked that question. I see in the
    Abeyance Agreement that I entered into in July, 2004, that a report is called for from LAP during this period.
    I am awaiting a communication from LAP with instructions in regard to the conditions that were discussed at the conlusion of
    the evaluation on August 19th. It is dificult to be sure I am complying with these conditions without having something to
    refer to other than my recollections of the discussions on August 19th. I recall something being said that required I make an
    appointment for testing within 2 weeks of the date of the evaluation, but I am not sure exactly what was it was that I was
    required to do and with whom. Could you please confirm that I will be receiving something from LAP setting forth these
    conditions?
    Can you confirm what you have received from me or my attorney, Jerome Fishkin so far (specifically, whether you have the
    status reports from Oliver Ocskay, Ph.D, Letter of Kelly Testolin, Esq. (my AA sponsor for over 2 years), Letter of Coe Swobe,
    Esq. (President of the State Bar of Nevada's Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers, Past Employer's Letters of Recommendation, AA
    signature pages, Personal Statement regarding my recovery, and anything else)?
    I would appreciate it if you could let me know (by email or otherwise) if you have received the release for Dr. Wong and also
    whether there is any documentation that I need to submit at this point. I would appreciate your letting me know whether my
    application is deficient in any way. My Abeyance Agreement calls for reports from me to LAP. I have sent reports to you,
    care of LAP since the July 2004 signing of the Abeyance Agreement and would appreciate your confirming whether you
    received these reports and the contents of these reports. Lastly, could you please let me know whether the reports that I
    sent are not sufficient, and if so, what I should include in any new reports that I may need to provide. I appreciate your help
    in these matters and realize that you must be very busy and I will try to assist you in this process in any way I can.
    During the evaluation I mentioned that I did not remember exactly when I last saw my counselor, Oliver Ocskay, Ph.D. I
    would like to amend my answer in that my records show I had actually seen Dr. Ocskay within one month of the evaluation
    and again had a session with him on August 22nd, 2005. During that session he mentioned to me that he received a voice
    mail from you and that he had returned your message and would await further instructions from you. Please let me know if
    there is anything I need to do in this regard.
    Also, please note that the pages containing signatures of my attendance at LCL and AA meetings in Reno is not an exhaustive
    account of all of my attendance at these meetings. Given that I was not required to gather such signatures at that time, I
    was merely collecting these pages to aid LAP in its evaluation of my recovery. I do have more pages of signatures which I
    will provide to LAP. These pages could not be located prior to the August 19th, 2005 meeting. Further, there have been
    many instances where I attended an LCL or AA meeting and did not gather a signature.
    Lastly, please note that Mr. Fishkin is still my counsel for this matter.

    Thank You,
    Zach Coughlin, Esq.

    Hi Pam,

    matter that I give the highest priority to. It is not a good excuse, but I have just been so overwhelmed with the demands of

    training and adjusting to my new job as a litigation associate in a law firm here in Reno. I look forward to seeing you as well
    on August 18th. Could you please let me know if there is anything that I need to bring to this meeting, ie, documentation,
    paperwork, identification, etc? Also, please let me know if there is anything that you recommend that I bring.
    I really hope you can appreciate that the reluctance you have seen from Jerry and my end really has nothing to do with you.
    Indeed, I have great respect and admiration for your abilities as a counselor and for what you can bring to one's recovery.
    Several years ago I attended a few LAP meetings in Davis, California, purely out of curiousity in regard to exactly what LAP
    involves, and I met with many of the participants afterwards for coffee and conversation and many of these individuals spoke
    very highly of you, your professionalism, and your talent for counseling and getting to the heart of the important issues.
    The reluctance chiefly stems from the rather dire financial straights I found myself in without a law license in any state (and
    fear of the prospect of the fees that may be involved in participating in both LAP and LCL), and from a few somewhat bad
    experiences in the past regarding the commentary of others (even where those doing so are merely performing their
    professional responsibilities) on the medical conditions and treatment thereof of some of those close to me. Also, while this
    may be hard to understand or believe, I experienced concern over the effect on my recovery program that being required to
    do anything (attend meetings, random urine testing) would have on my enthusiasm for my recovery program. I feared that I
    may experience a dampening of enthusiasm if I began to see recovery as something I was being required to do, rather than a
    choice I was making on a daily basis. You have probably come across examples of, or at least literature relating to, this trait
    of defiance and resistance to structure in alcoholics and, sometimes, those with ADD/ADHD. Of course, there are many,
    many times where I now must follow the structure set forth in various areas of my life, both personal and professional, and I
    do so fully. However, to the extent that there is an option relating to whether I will have more structure or less in my life, I
    often wish to opt for less structure.
    I appreciate that all my little feelings and concerns are not so important (especially given the public policy implications
    involved in having unfit individuals practicing this profession), however, but I just wanted to try to explain why this process
    has gone on as long, and as slowly as it has. It is important to me to let you know none of that is personal with respect to
    you. Further, I can assure you that Jerry Fishkin has never said one negative word about you. Rather, my interactions with
    Jerry have been confined to rather dry assesments of the state of the law with respect to individual bar applicants privacy
    rights, the LAP, and issues of that sort. Remember, we are lawyers and that type of stuff is nearly irresistable to us to get all
    muddled up in!
    I'll see you on August 18th.
    Thank You,
    Zach Coughlin

    participant throughout his or her program of structured recovery, and the
    Committee eventually determines when
    the participant has successfully completed the Program.

    (continued from page 1)


    assistance from the LAP if necessary. The
    attorney meets with an Evaluation Com
    mittee (a physician, a clinician, and a lo
    cal attorney experienced in recovery),
    which has reviewed reports from the Case
    Manager, Group Facilitator, evaluators,
    and treatment facilities. The individualized components of the participants
    long-term recovery program are then
    determined, and the attorney signs a
    participation plan.

    Short Term Counseling


    The LAP offers all State Bar members
    short term counseling (up to three sessions free of charge) with a local therapist
    who specializes in working with legal
    professionals.

    What is the Lawyer Assistance Program?

    he Lawyer Assistance Program


    (LAP) of the State Bar of Califor
    nia is a confidential resource for
    every California attorney whose
    personal or professional life suffers
    from substance abuse or dependence
    and/or other mental health concerns
    such as depression or anxiety. The LAP
    provides a comprehensive program of
    professional support and structure including expert assessment, arrangements for therapy or treatment, pro
    fessionally facilitated support groups,
    random lab testing and monitored continuing care. The Program also offers
    free short-term counseling to all attorneys to address stress, burnout, or career challenges. The Program works
    with family members, friends, colleagues, judges and other court staff
    who wish to obtain help for an impaired
    attorney.

    Entering the LAP


    Attorneys may enter the LAP during
    a pending disciplinary proceeding or
    voluntarily by self-referral. All participa
    tion in the LAP is completely voluntary
    and strictly confidential. An attorney
    who calls the LAP is assigned to a local
    Case Manager who is a licensed clinician
    experienced in the areas of substance
    abuse and mental health. The Case Man
    ager immediately addresses any lifethreatening issues, handles medical
    needs and provides emotional support.
    Cooperation exists between the LAP
    and complementary agencies. The State
    Bar Court Alternative Discipline Pro
    gram refers attorneys with pending dis
    ciplinary proceedings and investigations related to the consequences of
    substance abuse or mental health issues
    to the LAP, with closely coordinated
    interaction between the two programs.

    The LAP and the Other Bar also work


    together to provide a maximum level of
    service to all attorneys with substance
    abuse issues.

    A Unique Recovery Process


    A new participant immediately starts
    attending the closest professionally facilitated LAP support group and other
    local self-help programs as appropriate.
    Within a week the participant begins
    the LAP comprehensive assessment with
    the Case Manager. The newcomer is re
    ferred to medical and psychiatric professionals for evaluation if indicated.
    The participant meets regularly with
    the Case Manager, weekly with a professionally facilitated support group, and
    more frequently with other self-help
    groups. Inpatient or outpatient treatment begins, if indicated, with financial

    Are the Lawyer Assistance Program and the
    Alternative Discipline Program the same?
    No, the State Bar Court Alternative
    Discipline Program (ADP) is only for attorneys with substance abuse or mental
    health issues who have disciplinary matters currently pending in State Bar Court.
    The LAP is for all attorneys with substance
    abuse or mental health issues, regardless
    of whether they have disciplinary matters.
    In order to be eligible for the ADP, attorneys must be enrolled in the LAP. Further
    information about the ADP can be found
    at http://calbar.ca.gov/state/calbar/sbc

    LAP News & Views

    Spring 2007

    It is well known that


    education and support can
    be of great significance to
    family members and to the
    long-term well-being of the
    family as a whole.
    groups is an essential element of recovery
    for many people. LAP groups are an important adjunct to the recovery process,
    rather than a substitute for participation
    in self-help programs. LAP groups are
    supportive groups that are facilitated
    by licensed mental health professionals.
    LAP groups differ from self-help groups
    by providing an individualized focus to
    the recovery process and more personal
    ized support from the group, under the
    guidance of the group facilitator.
    Why are attorneys with substance abuse
    issues and mental health issues combined in
    the same group meetings?
    LAP groups do not focus on the specific treatment of each diagnosis. In addition, recovery from substance abuse
    and recovery from other mental health
    issues are similar in that a prescribed
    structure assists in recovery. Also, many
    LAP attorney participants are recovering from both substance abuse and

    other mental health issues. Feedback


    from LAP participants confirms that
    benefits are derived from the combined
    group meetings.
    What help is available to my spouse and/or
    other family members?
    Family members are strongly encouraged to participate in family treatment
    programs that may be offered in conjunction with primary addiction or mental health treatment. These disorders
    have a powerful impact on families. It is
    well known that education and support
    can be of great significance to family
    members and to the long-term wellbeing of the family as a whole.
    For the spouse of the chemically dependent person, we regularly refer to
    Al-Anon as the primary recovery resource. Adult children can benefit enormously from participation in an Adult
    Children of Alcoholics (ACA) or Al-Anon
    group. For younger children, Alateen is a
    great source of comfort and support. In
    creasing numbers of communities have
    groups such as Alatot for very young children. These can be found in your local
    telephone directory.
    For family members of those with a
    mental health disorder, local mental
    health organizations provide many support groups. These organizations can
    be contacted through your local mental
    health association. The LAP is able to
    help establish contact with these organizations.

    LAP Addresses Mental Health Issues

    he distribution of mental health


    and substance abuse diagnoses
    among participants in the LAP is
    shown in the chart at right. More than
    two-thirds of participants have a mental
    health diagnosis; this number continues
    to be much higher than originally anticipated. As would be expected, staff give a
    great deal of attention to mental health
    issues.
    During 2005, thirty-seven (37) percent
    of participants had a substance abuse
    diagnosis without a concurrent mental health diagnosis. Thirty-five (35) percent of participantshad a mental health
    diagnosis without a concurrent substance
    abuse diagnosis. Twenty-eight (28) per-

    cent had both mental health and substance abuse issues (dual diagnosis).
