Dear Fellow Louisiana Notary:

All notaries in Louisiana share an unavoidable problem. The laws and jurisprudence affecting every aspect of your practice are changing with ever increasing speed. Gone are the days when the knowledge you acquired when preparing for your Louisiana notarial or bar examination could be counted upon to remain essentially unchanged during your professional career. The results of a failure to remain abreast can be at best embarrassing, and at worst, injurious and potentially costly.

Louisiana Notary is a newsletter designed to bridge this information gap. Published three times yearly (Spring, Summer, and Fall) since 1983, it has become recognized as the informational service for notaries in Louisiana. Non-attorney notaries find it invaluable for keeping abreast of the endless legislation and jurisprudence affecting their everyday practice. Attorneys find it useful in filling the gap in notarial practice left by other legal journals and continuing education seminars.

Louisiana Notary reviews court decisions and legislation of general interest to Louisiana notaries, and monitors the bureaucracy for changes important to Louisiana notaries. Additionally, most issues contain a readers' forum where answers to readers' questions are discussed. Common notarial forms presented in a reproducible format are frequently included, in addition to general articles of interest to all Louisiana notaries.

The current issue is the Summer 2004 issue. In it, I report on the 2004 legislation affecting the office of notary public in Louisiana. I cover recent changes in the Louisiana laws for donations, trusts, acknowledgments, and new requirements for the content of Louisiana notarial acts. In  addition to this, I field questions about the role of the parish clerks of court as notaries ex-officio, and a good question on malfeasance in office. Readers will also know about how LSU fits in to the Louisiana notary exam process, and what the judges now require before granting a certificate of competence to applicants for a commission in East Baton Rouge parish.

In addition to the Louisiana Notary newsletter, subscribers may also access a special and exclusive opt-in e-mail update service and a subscriber-only information site on the Internet.

This service is not only useful; it is an excellent value--only $21 for one year (3 issues) or $39 for two-years (six issues). (Prices include 4% state sales tax) If you do any notarial work whatsoever, you will find a subscription to Louisiana Notary pays for itself many times over.

                                  Sincerely,
