Senate Concurrent Resolution No. by Senator Cathey urges the Supreme Court of Louisiana to mandate that attorneys complete a one-hour course on the legislative process as part of their annual continuing legal education requirements. The resolution highlights that many attorneys may lack familiarity with the legislative process, which can hinder their ability to assist Louisiana citizens in understanding how laws are made and interpreted.

The proposed course would cover essential topics, including how a bill becomes law in Louisiana, the construction and interpretation of the Louisiana Constitution and statutes, the distinctions between various legislative instruments, and a basic overview of state, local, and federal laws. The resolution aims to enhance attorneys' knowledge of the legislative process, thereby improving their capacity to serve their clients and the public effectively. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the Supreme Court of Louisiana for consideration.
