Louisiana Supreme Court Suspends CLE Requirement for 2005

The Louisiana Supreme Court has suspended the continuing legal education (CLE) requirement effective for calendar year 2005 only. The court’s action is in response to the hardships imposed by the two recent hurricanes on Louisiana-licensed attorneys. The annual minimum legal education requirement of 12.5 CLE hours will be back in force for calendar year 2006, unless amended or changed through future orders of the court.
