Supreme Court Delays Ad Rules and Trial Continued
Posted by Scott Wolfe Jr in Wolfe v LADB on March 15th, 2009
On February 18, 2009, the Louisiana Supreme Court announced that it was postponing the effective date of the new lawyer ad rules from April 1, 2009 until Oct 1, 2009, to “further study certain rules in light of the constitutional challenges that have been raised.”
Thereafter, the defendants in Wolfe Jr. et al v. Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board, et al. moved to continue the hearing on the Motion for Summary Judgment set for March 4, 2009, as well as the trial set for March 23, 2009.
Judge Feldman granted the continuance on February 27, 2009, and the hearings and trial will be rescheduled at a later date - likely the scheduled April 7th conference.

Likely Trial Date Set for March 23, 2009
Posted by Scott Wolfe Jr in Wolfe v LADB on December 30th, 2008
Today, the Defendants in this matter filed an unopposed motion to consolidate the Wolfe Jr. v. Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board suit with the on-going suit filed by Public Citizen, Inc.
The Consolidation Motion, which will likely be granted, would combine both suits for the purposes of scheduling and discovery. If the consolidation is in fact ordered, the Wolfe Jr. suit would be set for trial on March 23, 2009.
You can view the Consolidation Motion online at the Blog No Evil, Inc. JD Supra profile page.
We added that motion just a few hours ago. This morning, we also added the Scheduling Order applicable to the action post-consolidation, as well as Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board’s Rule 26(a) Initial Disclosures.
More to come…
