Description
This is a disciplinary proceeding against Paul L. Douglas, respondent, who was admitted to the practice of law in Nebraska
on June 18, 1953. He was elected county attorney of Lancaster County, Nebraska, in 1961, and Attorney General of Nebraska
in 1975. He held the office of Attorney General until his resignation effective January 2, 1985. Commencing in 1976 and extending through 1981, the respondent had a number of transactions with Marvin E. Copple, who was
developing land for residential purposes in and near Lincoln, Nebraska. Copple was also an officer and director of Commonwealth
Savings Company. The respondent's activities in these matters are the basis for the charges filed against him in this proceeding.
These matters were also the basis for articles of impeachment against the respondent, adopted by the Legislature on March
14, 1984, and an indictment returned on June 14, 1984. See, State v. Douglas, 217 Neb. 199, 349 N.W. 2d 870 (1984); State
v. Douglas, 222 Neb. 833, 388 N.W.2d 801 (1986).
