Interested in Creating a New Legal Specialty Area?
The Louisiana Board of Legal Specialization (LBLS) has adopted a written policy concerning how submissions must be made for LBLS to consider a new legal specialty area.
While new legal specialties must be approved by the Louisiana State Bar Association House of Delegates (LSBA HOD), LBLS is charged with recommending new specialties to the LSBA HOD. Ten (10) legal specialties have been approved so far: Tax Law, Family Law, Business Bankruptcy Law, Consumer Bankruptcy Law, Labor Law, Employment Law, Estate Planning and Administration, Appellate Practice, Environmental Law, and Health Law. LBLS oversees these legal specialty areas.
