Louisiana Bar Foundation 2003 Annual Report Louisiana Bar Foundation

Integrity, accountability and social responsibility—that’s what the Louisiana Bar Foundation (LBF) represents. The LBF is an organization committed to helping improve the quality of life in communities across Louisiana. The focus of the LBF membership is unique; it enables attorneys, judges and professors throughout the state to unify the civil and charitable endeavors of the legal profession. The LBF funds direct-service programs who struggle to provide direct access to the justice system for the more than 850,000 poverty-stricken Louisiana residents. The ratio of legal-services attorneys to poor persons in our Istate is 1:10,625.

Mission The Louisiana Bar Foundation exists to preserve, honor and improve our system of justice by funding, developing or otherwise promoting efforts which enhance the legal profession, increase public understanding of the legal system and advance the reality of equal justice under the law.

Objectives

• Assure every person in Louisiana reasonable access to the justice system regardless of mental or physical condition, economic status or type of legal problem. • Identify, acquire, preserve, enhance and exhibit documents, items, photographs and other types of media items of significant historical interest to the Louisiana legal community and to the general public. • Promote public awareness and understanding of the legal system and its goals, as well as the rights and obligations of all parties involved. • Raise the ethical and professional standards of the lawyers who operate the legal system. • Establish and administer endowment funds, Interest on Lawyers’ Trust Account (IOLTA) funds and other funds which can provide significant impact in fulfilling the goals of the Louisiana Bar Foundation. • Support and enhance legal education in Louisiana. • Improve the efficiency of the justice system while protecting the right to a full and fair procedure.

Raising the Bar 2003 Annual Report Report of the 2002-03 President Voluntary membership in this organization demonstrates belief in the funding of legal services for the needy and dedication to the highest principles of the legal profession. Over the past year, we have moved our organization forward and I am happy to report on our activities. Financial Report VAs of May 31, 2003, our Fellows have contributed more than $140,000 in membership dues. The operating budget for the Foundation (separate from IOLTA funds) has continued to grow. Unfortunately, this has been a year of declining IOLTA revenue due to the lower interest rates. Funds were significantly lower than in prior years and our IOLTA counterparts throughout the country shared the distress of the economy. IOLTA Litigation On March 26, 2003 in the matter of Brown, et al vs. Legal Foundation of Washington, the U.S. Supreme Court held that IOLTA does not violate the Fifth Amendment. In a 5-4 majority opinion, Justice Stevens stated that “It is neither unethical nor illegal for lawyers to deposit their client’s funds in a single bank account.” Even with this victory, we still have a major shortfall in getting legal services to those in need. Money from the IOLTA program isn’t enough to cover the needs of Louisiana’s indigent citizens. That is why the Louisiana Bar Foundation (LBF) began the Raising the Bar Endowment campaign. Strategic Planning In an effort to conduct a self-examination and identify new challenges/opportunities, the Committee of more than 30 volunteers reviewed the 1999 plan and constructed a new plan through 2005 recommending goals in three areas: (1) resource development; (2) programmatic; and (3) PR/marketing. At its meeting on April 25, 2003, the Board adopted the strategic plan with minor revisions and has already begun implementation with the adoption of a new staff structure and the recommendation of Article amendments which will be presented to the Fellowship. 17th Annual Fellows Dinner On Friday, April 25, 2003, with record attendance, the LBF honored the 2002 Distinguished Jurist Hon. Henry Yelverton, the 2002 Distinguished Attorney, Camille F. Gravel, Jr., and the 2002 Distinguished Professor, Kathryn V. Lorio at the 17th Annual Fellows Dinner. More than 300 guests purchased tickets to the dinner held at the Lod Cook Conference Center located on the LSU campus in Baton Rouge. A cocktail reception honoring the Class of 2002 Fellows began at 7 p.m. followed by the seated dinner at 8 p.m. In conjunction with the dinner, a Patron Party was held at the home of Janet and Scott Boles. Judicial College Outreach On Thursday, March 20, 2003, the LBF, Access to Justice and Louisiana Center for Law and Civic Education participated in a seminar at the Louisiana Judicial College Spring Meeting which was held at the Lafayette Hilton. Judicial Fellow Ned Doucet of the Louisiana Court of Appeal, 3rd Circuit along with LBF Vice President John Swift of Lafayette provided an overview of the LBF’s mission, objectives, current activities and information on cy pres funds. Committee Participation Every year, approximately 200 Fellows volunteer on various LBF committees. Our organization’s successes and accomplishments are directly attributed to your above and beyond commitment. Committee involvement is a great way to become acquainted with what this Foundation is all about and provides Fellows with opportunities to work with other lawyers in the state. I want to thank all committee members that served this past bar year and encourage your continued participation on LBF committees for the 2003-04 bar year. Conclusion I have been honored to serve as the President of this organization for the past year. I will continue my support of this organization and my belief in our mission of helping the needy and promoting professionalism. I offer my service to the new officers wherever I can be of assistance. I thank all Fellows for their dedication and involvement, members of the Board of Directors for their service, the leadership of the Louisiana State Bar Association and the LBF staff.

Raising the Bar 2003 Annual Report Overview of Endowment Campaign – Raising the Bar

Even in today’s tough economic environment, Louisiana lawyers, judges and others dedicated to improving our justice system have stepped up and made a pledge to the Raising the Bar campaign. With more than $500,000 raised thus far, Fellows and volunteers have been working hard to protect the work that the Louisiana Bar Foundation does insuring equal access to the justice system. The endowment fund will provide funding for justice-related nonprofit organizations in Louisiana and will help to address the unrealized legal needs of Louisiana’s indigent citizens. We want to thank our dedicated statewide campaign leadership: Phelps Gay, Cyrus Greco, Steve Yancey and Pat Ottinger for serving as section leaders; and Donna D. Fraiche, Metro Orleans; Rodney Cashe/Richard Knight, Northshore; Wade Shows and Harry “Skip” EPhilips, Jr., Baton Rouge; John Swift, Lafayette; Richard Gerard, Jr., Lake Charles; Beth Foote, Alexandria; Armand Roos, Shreveport and Alex Rankin, Monroe for serving as the division leaders. It will take a commitment by every lawyer in the state to truly “Raise the Bar.” Have you made your pledge yet?

Programs Access to Justice The Access to Justice Program is a cooperative venture of the Louisiana State Bar Association, the Louisiana Bar Foundation and the Louisiana legal services programs. The committee works to make others aware of the unmet needs of the poor for civil legal services, and can best assist by working toward solutions that can be realized in proper funding of legal services providers and increased participation by the legal community. The mission of the Access to Justice Committee is to support and help strengthen an integrated statewide network to increase the delivery of legal Aservices to the poor of Louisiana.

Community Action Committee The Community Action Committee is a co-sponsored committee of the Louisiana State Bar Association and the Louisiana Bar Foundation. The mission of the Community Action Committee shall be to serve as a catalyst for lawyer community involvement through charitable and other public service projects statewide.

Cy Pres CThe Cy Pres doctrine is a legal theory which allows courts to put residual class actions funds to their “next best use” to support the aggregate, indirect, prospective benefit of class members by awarding residual funds to third parties such as legal service providers. In recent years, courts and litigators throughout the country have agreed on donations to groups based on the public interest work they perform and provide to communities. At a hearing on April 24, 2002, the Honorable Kay Bates, 19th Judicial District Court in Baton CRouge, awarded the Louisiana Bar Foundation as one of the recipients selected to receive distributions of settlement funds from the “Chippewa Street Chemical Spill” case.
