What each status means
- Eligible to practice
- Dues are paid, any required CLE is current, and no suspension is in effect. This is what you want to see before you hire.
- Not eligible
- The license exists but the lawyer cannot practice right now, usually for unpaid dues or a missed CLE deadline. It can often be cured within days.
- Suspended or disbarred
- The bar has taken disciplinary action. The order is public, and the record links to it.

Common questions
How do I know a Louisiana lawyer is really licensed?
Match the name to an active record on the Louisiana State Bar Association with a status of eligible to practice. A lawyer who cannot be found on the board's roll is not licensed in Louisiana, whatever a website says.
What does "not eligible" mean if the license still exists?
The lawyer is on the roll but barred from practicing today, most often for unpaid dues or a lapsed requirement. It is not the same as discipline, and it is usually temporary.
Can I see if a lawyer has been disciplined?
Public. The Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board and Office of Disciplinary Counsel handle and post attorney discipline. Where an order exists, the board links to it from the record.
