Legal Specialization Board Accepting Applications in 5 Areas
The Louisiana Board of Legal Specialization (LBLS) is currently accepting requests for applications for 2014 certification in five areas — business bankruptcy law, consumer bankruptcy law, estate planning and administration, family law and tax law. The LBLS announced that the application and exam fees for 2013 applicants seeking certification will be waived. This translates to a $400 savings. The deadline to submit applications for consideration for estate planning and administration, family law and tax law certification is April 15, 2013. Applications for business bankruptcy law and consumer bankruptcy law certification will be accepted through Sept. 30, 2013.
