✍️ Sample LA BAR Questions & Answers

1. Under the Louisiana Rules of Professional Conduct, which of the following communications is NOT protected by the attorney-client privilege?
A client's statement seeking help to commit a future fraud

The crime-fraud exception removes privilege protection for communications made in furtherance of a future crime or fraud.

2. A defendant is charged with conspiracy under Louisiana law. Which is NOT required to establish conspiracy?
Proof that the target crime was actually completed

Conspiracy is complete upon agreement and specific intent; the target crime need not be completed, though Louisiana requires an overt act for most conspiracies.

3. Under Louisiana law, how does acquisitive prescription of immovable property differ based on whether the possessor has just title and good faith?
10 years with just title and good faith; 30 years without

Louisiana Civil Code Art. 3473-3486 provides 10-year acquisitive prescription for immovables held with just title and good faith, and 30-year prescription without those requirements.

4. Under the 'good faith' exception to the exclusionary rule (United States v. Leon), evidence obtained with a defective warrant is admissible when:
The officer's reliance on the warrant was objectively reasonable

Leon's good faith exception applies when officers objectively and reasonably relied on a facially valid warrant later found to be defective.

5. A buyer in ordinary course of business who buys goods from a merchant takes the goods:
Free of a security interest created by the seller, even if the security interest is perfected and the buyer knows of it

UCC 9-320(a) protects buyers in ordinary course from security interests created by their seller, even when the security interest is perfected and the buyer has actual knowledge of it.

6. Under Louisiana law, acquisitive prescription of an immovable without just title or good faith requires possession for:
30 years

La. C.C. art. 3486 provides that an immovable may be acquired by prescription of 30 years without just title or good faith.
