Consumer Brochures

In order to promote better understanding of the legal profession in the public sector, the LSBA has created 8 information brochures on various law topics.

The Consumer Brochures are not intended to be an all-inclusive guide to law in Louisiana. Rather, they are intended to give the public an overview of some applicable principles. There are many intricate legal issues and laws not addressed in the brochures. Legal representation is recommended to ensure that all legal rights and obligations are fully understood.

Attorneys and law firms can obtain copies of these brochures to distribute to potential and current clients. Although Spanish translations of the brochures are available online, they are not currently available for purchase.
