The Senate Resolution urges the Louisiana Supreme Court to grant full-time legislative staff attorneys, who are licensed to practice law in the state, eight hours of continuing legal education (CLE) credit annually for their service in the legislature. Currently, the Supreme Court's Rules for Continuing Legal Education provide exemptions and credits for certain officials, including legislators and legislative clerical officers, but do not extend this benefit to legislative staff attorneys. These attorneys play a crucial role in the legislative process by conducting legal research, drafting bills, and advising legislators, thus contributing significantly to the creation of laws.

The resolution highlights the importance of recognizing the work of legislative staff attorneys, who are integral to ensuring that legislation is clear, concise, and legally sound. With fewer than one hundred full-time legislative attorneys compared to nearly nineteen thousand licensed attorneys in Louisiana, the resolution advocates for the inclusion of these staff members in the existing framework that allows for CLE credits, thereby acknowledging their contributions to the legislative process and promoting their professional development.
