The Louisiana State Bar Association (LSBA) recognizes that achieving diversity in the legal profession is an evolutionary process that requires the Association's continued effort and commitment.
The LSBA is committed to diversity in its membership, Board of Governors, staff, House of Delegates, committees and all leadership positions.
Diversity is an inclusive concept that encompasses race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation and disability.
The LSBA is a richer and more effective Association because of diversity, as it increases our strengths, capabilities and adaptability.

The first phase of the criminal case is completed at sentencing.
Either you have gone to trial and been convicted and sentenced or you have pled guilty and been sentenced.
There are complicated and unforgiving timetables, established by law, as to what must happen next.
In Louisiana, criminal cases have what is known as a "record appeal."
This means that a court reviewing what has happened, either before or during trial or a plea of guilty, can only look to events that are actually part of the record.

Post Conviction Relief is an entirely different animal.
If you have been convicted at trial or if you pled guilty, and then you appealed your conviction or sentence and lost, the next step is what is called post conviction relief; some people refer to it as habeas corpus.
It is not "another appeal" in which the same issues that you argued in your appeals are repeated.
There are strict time limits on post conviction relief.
The process basically is that in Louisiana you have two (2) years from the date your conviction becomes final within which to seek post conviction relief from the same state district court judge who originally heard your case.
