Terminally
online
lawyers
were
plagued
by
one
question
over
the
last
24
hours
—
who
is
Louis’
Nana
and
why
does
she
have
her
own
Supreme
Court?
If
that
sentence
makes
zero
sense
to
you,
well,
you
were
probably
too
busy
billing
to
see
the
viral
post
at
the
root
of
the
question.
An
image,
purportedly
from
the
recent
swearing
in
of
new
lawyers
in
the
great
state
of
Louisiana,
is
making
the
rounds
over
a
pretty
glaring
typo.
Now,
this
looks
to
be
a
projection
onto
a
curtain,
not
a
printed
(and
presumably
copyedited)
seal,
so
it
seems
feasible
that
the
mistake
really
happened
and
the
image
isn’t
the
result
of
internet
tomfoolery.
(Above
the
Law
reached
out
to
the
Louisiana
Supreme
Court,
and
they
did
not
immediately
provide
a
comment.)
And
here’s
the
thing
—
it
isn’t
the
only
time
spelling
the
name
of
the
state
was
an
issue.
Another
Reddit
user
produced
a
coaster
misspelling
the
state’s
name.

And
“Louisiana”
also
proved
tough
at
the
2022
Essence
Festival.

Maybe
Louisiana
needs
to
take
a
tip
from
its
neighboring
state,
Mississippi,
and
come
up
with
a
jaunty
little
tune
to
help
folks
learn
to
properly
spell
its
name.
