Louisiana Attorney
Disciplinary Board |
In 2007, the Supreme Court completed
its evaluation of the operations
of the discipline system, which receives over 3,000 complaints annually.
• With its operations funded by fees from attorneys, the board increased disciplinary assessments by $35 to help support technology advances, retain experienced staff, and increase staff size with a goal of lowering case loads per counsel to the recommended
national average.
• Internally designed case tracking software has been chosen by other regulatory agencies as a model, and the Washington D.C. Disciplinary Office has incorporated the Louisiana system in its entirety. A document
management system, when fully implemented, will support electronic files and filing to speed the adjudication
process.
• A statewide campaign of continuing legal education focused on ethics rules and how best to avoid problems which give rise to client dissatisfaction.
