Summary

Affected attorneys include practitioners subject to discipline for professional rule violations under the Louisiana Rules of Professional Conduct.
What changed
The Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board compiled disciplinary decisions from 2024-2026, including Supreme Court orders adopting recommendations (e.g., KOERNER 2026-OB-0426, GOLD 2026-OB-00221) and Disciplinary Board decisions (e.g., BARZARE 24-DB-009, DOBBINS 24-DB-026).
