Louisiana SB68 amends the state constitution to grant the Louisiana Supreme Court jurisdiction over disciplinary proceedings against out-of-state.
Louisiana SB68 proposes a constitutional amendment to expand the jurisdiction of the Louisiana Supreme Court. The amendment grants the court exclusive original jurisdiction over disciplinary proceedings against lawyers who are not admitted in Louisiana but practice law in the state, own or operate a law firm in Louisiana, or have supervisory authority over licensed Louisiana lawyers. This change aims to ensure the court can address unethical practices by out-of-state lawyers within Louisiana's jurisdiction.
