A state judicial disciplinary panel on Thursday admonished an Alameda County judge for hitting an attorney's hand in a 2011 incident with enough "inadvertent" force to leave a mark.

Superior Court Judge Morris Jacobson was also chastised by the Commission on Judicial Performance for using "crude and inappropriate" language with a court administrator in 2016 to describe the alleged sexual misconduct of a Texas judge.
