LBLS Accepting Applications for Bankruptcy Law Certification Through September The Louisiana Board of Legal Specialization (LBLS) is accepting applications for 2015 certification in business bankruptcy law and consumer bankruptcy law through Sept. 30, 2014. Regarding applications for business bankruptcy law and consumer bankruptcy law certification, although the written test(s) is administered by the American Board of Certification, attorneys should apply for approval of the LBLS simultaneously with the testing agency in order to avoid delay of board certification by the LBLS.
