LOUISIANA CONSTITUTIONAL LAW John Devlin* OF REVENUE ANTICIPATION NOTES, MINERAL RIGHTS AND MAXIMS OF CONSTITUTIONAL CONSTRUCTION In this bicentennial year of constitutional celebration and controversial judicial nominations, fundamental questions concerning how courts should go about the task of construing constitutions are much in the air. Such issues of theory and method are as salient, and often as difficult and controversial, when disputed provisions of a state constitution must be construed as they are in the federal context. In two "hard cases" from last term,' State Bond Commissioner v. All Taxpayers,2 and American Lung Association, Inc. v. State Mineral Board,3 the Louisiana Supreme Court wrestled with similar issues of interpre- tation of the 1974 Louisiana Constitution. In both cases, the consti- tutional provisions at issue operated to limit the otherwise plenary powers of the political branches of the state government. In neither case did the plain meaning of the provision's specific terms-"debt" in the former case, "sold" in the latter-necessarily apply to the particular facts at bar, nor in either case did the records of the 1973 constitutional con- vention indicate that the framers ever considered the specific issue pre- sented.

    2/21/01 SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA NO. 2000-OB-1360 ALFREDA TILLMAN BESTER VERSUS LOUISIANA SUPREME COURT COMMITTEE ON BAR ADMISSIONS ORIGINAL PROCEEDING ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS, INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AND DECLARATORY RELIEF TRAYLOR, J.* The petitioner, Alfreda Tillman Bester, seeks to compel the Committee on Bar Admissions, a body of lawyers created to assist this Court in its constitutionally mandated function of deciding who should be admitted to the practice of law in Louisiana, to produce her “conditionally failed” February, 2000 Bar Examination, as well as “model answers” or “grading guidelines” prepared by the members of the Committee on Bar Admissions. This demand squarely implicates our inherent authority to regulate all facets of the practice of law in Louisiana, including the admission of persons to the Bar. Because we exercise plenary, inherent authority in the area of bar admissions, and because at the time the subject bar examination was administered, bar applicants had no right to review their bar examinations, or any right to review the grading guidelines or model answers prepared by Committee Examiners, we deny relief. Facts The petitioner was notified by the Committee on Bar Admissions that she had conditionally failed the February, 2000 Louisiana State Bar Examination. * James Gulotta, Associate Justice Pro Tempore, sitting for Lemmon, J. The petitioner then forwarded a written public records request, asking to view her own bar examination, together with the Committee’s model answers/grading guidelines. The Committee on Bar Admissions, acting through counsel, denied the petitioner’s request. Petitioner then invoked the original jurisdiction of this Court by filing a “Petition for Writ of Mandamus, Injunctive Relief and Declaratory Relief .

(“LDF”) writes to express our support for the proposal in Senate Bill (“SB”) 1631 to place a constitutional amendment on the October 9, 2021 ballot to expand the size of the Louisiana Supreme Court from seven members to nine members, each elected from one district (“single-member district”).2 However, we believe that implementation of this expansion should not be delayed until 2025, as currently proposed in SB 163. It is critical that Louisiana’s communities of color are fairly represented on the Louisiana Supreme Court. The Louisiana Supreme Court has expansive jurisdiction to review judgments of the courts of appeal in every civil and criminal action filed in state court in Louisiana, which is where the vast majority of cases are heard.3 In civil cases, the Supreme Court has plenary authority to review not only legal conclusions, but also may review factual conclusions.4 The decisions made by the Louisiana Supreme Court have profound consequences for all Louisianans and have the potential to affect every aspect of life.
