StateBarWatch Urges State Bar Executive Director John T. Berry To Explain What Happened.... 
Every law school student learns that it is unethical to take credit for another's work.  StateBarWatch has learned that State Bar Executive Director John T. Berry published an article in the June 2003 edition of the Michigan Bar Journal that contained identical passages to a publication written in October 2000 by another attorney.  In Mr. Berry's 2003 article, he failed to acknowledge the earlier work.

  State Bar of Michigan Executive Director John T. Berry is also on the Florida Supreme Court's Commission on Professionalism.  StateBarWatch intends to ask the Florida Supreme Court Commission on Professionalism to investigate this matter and report back to StateBarWatch.  Keep checking back on this investigation.
