LSLAP cannot represent a client unless the trial is more than 3 months away. If the trial date is sooner, the client can be advised to ask for an adjournment of the trial to a later date. This can be done at the Trial Confirmation Hearing or earlier. If the adjournment is not granted, the client should be advised that LSLAP cannot act and it is their responsibility to seek other counsel. | LSLAP cannot represent a client unless the trial is more than 3 months away.
