XVIII § 4 Reinstatement from Inactive Status or Emeritus Status.

(A) Inactive Status. Any lawyer on inactive status under Section 3(A) of this rule shall be reinstated if the lawyer makes application to the Louisiana State Bar Association within five years of the date of transfer to inactive status. Any lawyer who fails to make application for reinstatement within five years of the effective date of transfer to inactive status may, in the discretion of the court upon notice from the Louisiana State Bar Association, be required to petition for reinstatement under Rule XIX, § 24.

(B) Emeritus Status. Any lawyer on emeritus status under Section 3(B) of this rule shall be reinstated to active status if the lawyer makes application to the Louisiana State Bar Association and makes full payment of the annual bar association dues and the annual disciplinary fee required by Rule XIX, § 8. If at the time of application for reinstatement to active status, a lawyer on emeritus status has already submitted payment for the annual bar association dues and the annual disciplinary fee for that year, the lawyer shall make payment of the remainder due for that year before being granted reinstatement to active status. This rule change shall become effective upon signing, and shall remain in full force and effect thereafter, until amended or changed through future orders of this Court.
