LSBA forms appellate section

René deLaup submits the following announcement:

The [La. State Bar Association] House of Delegates has approved the formation of the Appellate Section.

The members will meet and communicate via an electronic discussion group. All members will be automatically subscribed to this listserve. The first order of business there will be to come up with an appellate-advocate light-bulb joke.

The section will ask every member to make a small scholarly contribution to the listserve once a year, even if it is just an educational war story from her practice or a few remarks about a recent decision or court rule.

In slow months for appellate-practice developments, we may use our Recent Developments section of the Bar Journal to puncture some cherished legal-writing shibboleths.  We promise this will be excruciating. Stay tuned.

Louisiana lawyers at home in Iraq

Louisiana's civil-law heritage helps its lawyers understand Iraq's legal system, according to this AP story:

One of the lawyers, Capt. Dan Stigall, said he found similarities between the two systems as soon as he opened an Iraqi law book.

"It was interesting to open it up and say, 'Gosh, we do share so much,'" said Stigall, who earned his law degree at Louisiana State University and spent six months working with Iraq's courts last year.

The story features quotations from Bernie McLaughlin and former LSU law professor Christopher Blakesley.
