ELLI Feature: What is Professionalism?

In this short, thought-provoking clip, attorney Jeffrey D. Jeter discusses the Louisiana Code of Professionalism and its defining statement that “my word is my bond.”

LADB FREE CLE!

For more than two decades, the LADB has offered free, high quality continuing legal education to Louisiana lawyers through the LADB Free CLE Series.  Each year, more than 1,500 lawyers have attended the seven-hour live program offered in no less than five separate locations throughout the state.  In 2020, for the first time, the LADB Free CLE Series was cancelled due to the Covid 19 pandemic. 

Recognizing that many lawyers count on the free program every year, and in an effort to make free CLE available to these and all Louisiana lawyers during this most unusual year, the members of the Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board have decided to provide coupons for 7 hours of free on-line programming from the LADB’s on-demand catalog available at no charge to Louisiana attorneys from September 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020.  Limit 2 coupons per month in September, October and November; one coupon available in December. Each coupon is good for one free hour of CLE programming. 

The coupon code for September is “SaferAtHome.”  The coupon code will expire September 30, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. Check the LADB’s e-newsletter, Nota Bene, each month for the coupon code.
