Code of Professionalism (this could be a stand-alone presentation or

 Coordinate with the Senior Lawyers Division to provide panelists from
that group to discuss the Revised Code of Professionalism and their

the Young Lawyers Division to advance professionalism in the practice
of law and to provide a forum for those groups to learn from and
benefit from one another’s perspectives;

 Contact either judges’ associations or judges and offer to present the
one-hour CLE program on the Revised Code of Professionalism,
including providing speakers and materials; and
Committee on the Profession will meet to discuss and determine best

 Provide a copy of the Revised Code of Professionalism of appropriate
size and quality for display in every courthouse throughout the state
(the actual goal would be to provide a framed copy of the code but
budget implications would need to be explored).
Plan to send framed copy of the revised Code of Professionalism to
the Louisiana Supreme Court and the five Courts of Appeal.
Considering how to make available framed copies to the district courts
and/or individual judges. Contacted Clerks to see if they want a framed
copy to display. Will also write to individual judges to see if they want
an unframed copy. Current plan is to print code in house in color.

BENCHMARK(S): Greater understanding of the Code of Professionalism and related
services offered by the LSBA, as well as greater satisfaction among practitioners and
fewer disciplinary complaints.

Goal 3: The LSBA helps foster inclusion and participation by the
diversity of its members and works to satisfy the unique needs

of all members.
