 An Emphasis on Ethics and Professionalism
All complaints regarding attorneys must be received in writing. The complaint form can be downloaded here. This form requires the free Adobe Acrobat Reader which can be downloaded here.
Complaints must be sent to:
OFFICE OF DISCIPLINARY COUNSEL
4000 S. Sherwood Forest Blvd., Suite 607
Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70816
The phone number for the office is (225) 293-3900
The
Louisiana Supreme Court continues to address public concerns
regarding attorney misconduct. In 1990, Louisiana’s lawyer
discipline system became the first in the nation to incorporate the
American Bar Association’s Model Rules for Disciplinary Enforcement,
the hallmark of which is the use of non-lawyers in the disciplinary
process.
The purposes of lawyer discipline
proceedings are:
- to protect the public
- to protect the integrity of the legal system
- to ensure the administration of justice
- to deter further unethical conduct
- to rehabilitate the offending lawyer
- to deter unethical behavior by educating
other lawyers and the public.
The system is administered by a 14 member
statewide Attorney Disciplinary Board, four of whom are public
members unaffiliated with the legal profession, assisted by 117
hearing committee members, consisting of 78 attorneys and 39 lay
representatives.
The rules of the Supreme Court of Louisiana make all disciplinary proceedings prior to the filing of formal charges confidential. You are required to conduct yourself so as to maintain the confidentiality mandated by this Rule.
LADB is Louisiana’s premiere
resource for disciplinary case law.
We invite
you to explore our site and learn more about the Louisiana Attorney
Disciplinary Board.

Trust Account Disclosure & Overdraft Notification Authorization
This year, the Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board will once again offer a program to allow for electronic filing of the trust account registration and overdraft notification form. Minor problems in our first year’s efforts were identified and corrected. Participation in the online program is NOT mandatory. Every lawyer will have the hard copy of the form included in the registration process. For those who chose not to avail themselves of the electronic filing option, the Court approved Trust Account Registration and Overdraft Notification form will be available to you for completion. If you chose the electronic filing opportunity, DO NOT submit the hard copy form. We believe that the system created by the technology department of the Board will provide an easy and efficient means of filing your information in a timely fashion.
To participate, simply log on to our web site here. You will be taken to a page where you will be asked to register and receive your personal password randomly allotted by the system. Print out your password and store it in a secure location. Return to the site and log on. You will find on screen instructions to walk you thru the process.
If you do not want to participate in the electronic trust account registration, click here to download a trust account form. This form requires the free Adobe Acrobat Reader which can be downloaded here.
If you are late in complying with the 2009 Trust Account Disclosure, please be sure to enclose a check for fifty dollars with your form and send to :
The Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board
2800 Veterans Memorial Blvd. Suite 310
Metairie, LA 70002
