What is the difference between a local committee and an independent review?

We note that the local committee, which observed the demeanor of the witnesses and the character of their testimony, was in a better position to evaluate their conflicting statements (Toll v. State Bar (1974) 12 Cal.3d 824, 831, 177 Cal.Rptr. 427, 528 P.2d 35.) In attacking the committee's determination with regard to this matter, petitioner merely reiterates his own version of the events as related in his testimony. In so doing, he has failed to sustain his burden of showing that these findings are not supported by the evidence.
