An Emphasis on Ethics and Professionalism

The Louisiana Supreme Court continues to address public concerns regarding attorney misconduct. In 1990, Louisiana’s lawyer discipline system became the first in the nation to incorporate the American Bar Association’s Model Rules for Disciplinary Enforcement, the hallmark of which is the use of non-lawyers in the disciplinary process.

The purposes of lawyer discipline proceedings are:

  • to protect the public

  • to protect the integrity of the legal system

  • to ensure the administration of justice

  • to deter further unethical conduct

  • to rehabilitate the offending lawyer

  • to deter unethical behavior by educating other lawyers and the public.

The system is administered by a 14 member statewide Attorney Disciplinary Board, four of whom are public members unaffiliated with the legal profession, assisted by 117 hearing committee members, consisting of 78 attorneys and 39 lay representatives.

LADB is Louisiana’s premier resource for disciplinary case law.
