| Subject: Fuckwit judge tosses lawsuit against forced membership in Louisiana State Bar Association Mon Jan 20, 2020 9:35 pm | |
| A federal judge in New Orleans has dismissed an attorney’s lawsuit that challenged the Louisiana State Bar Association’s monopoly over who can practice law in the state, but the case will continue in higher courts. In a Jan. 13 decision, U.S. District Judge Lance Africk bowed to U.S. Supreme Court precedent that allows states to force lawyers to become bar association members and pay dues. New Orleans insurance defense lawyer Randy Boudreaux argued in a lawsuit filed last year that mandatory bar membership offends his constitutional rights of free speech and free association because the association takes political positions. One of Boudreaux’s attorneys, Loyola law school professor Dane Ciolino, said he will file an appeal with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Meanwhile, he said, other cases in a wave of similar litigation across the country will likely soon reach the U.S. Supreme Court.
