                          The  Louisiana  State  Bar  Association  may  provide  listservs  or  other  electronic
                          communication tools to facilitate communication between members of its committees
                          and sections. All such tools for use by these entities shall be administered only by the
                          Association and shall be used only for the discussion of related LSBA issues or other
                          legal-related discussions.  Membership in these lists shall be limited to members of the
                          respective  sections  and  committees,  LSBA  leaders,  and  appropriate  LSBA  staff
                          liaisons.

                          Messages shall not be posted if they encourage or facilitate members to arrive at any
                          agreement that either expressly or impliedly leads to price fixing, a boycott of another's
                          business,  or  other  conduct  intended  to  illegally  restrict  free  trade.  Messages  that
                          encourage or facilitate an agreement about the following subjects are inappropriate:
                          prices, discounts, or terms or conditions of sale; salaries; profits, profit margins, or cost
                          data; market shares, sales territories, or markets; allocation of customers or territories;
                          or selection, rejection, or termination of customers or suppliers.

                          In no event shall the LSBA be liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages
                          or any damages whatsoever resulting from loss of use, data, or profits, arising out of or
                          in connection with the use or performance of any information posted on the listservs.

                          The LSBA will not necessarily actively monitor these sites for inappropriate postings
                          and does not on its own undertake editorial control of postings. However, in the event
                          that any inappropriate posting is brought to the LSBA’s attention, the LSBA will take
                          all appropriate action.

                          The LSBA reserves the right to establish rules for users of these communications tools,
