In re Culotta, Melissa; Committee on Bar Admissions; — Plaintiff(s); Applying for Joint Petition for Conditional Admission.
ON APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION TO THE BAR
After reviewing the evidence and considering the law, we conclude petitioner, Melissa Culotta, is eligible to be conditionally admitted to the practice of law in Louisiana, subject to a probationary period of five years. The probationary period may be extended upon recommendation of the Executive Director of the Lawyers Assistance Program. During the probationary period, petitioner shall comply with all of the terms and conditions of the contract executed by her with the Lawyers Assistance Program, and such other conditions as may be imposed upon her by the Executive Director of the Lawyers Assistance Program. Should petitioner fail to make a good faith effort to satisfy these conditions, or should she commit any misconduct during the period of probation, her conditional right to practice may be terminated or she may be subjected to other discipline pursuant to the Rules for Lawyer Disciplinary Enforcement.
