NEW EDITION FOR 2023 -Updates and expands the previous edition, and is keyed to the current state study guide. The Louisiana Notary Public exam is based on a 722-page study guide, Fundamentals of Louisiana Notarial Law and Practice. But the official book is famously difficult and organized in a complex way. Readers often need help - including classes and Facebook groups - just to unwind it. This book is, at last, directly aimed at simplifying and outlining the study guide itself. Such a resource offers a better chance of passing the notoriously challenging notary exam.Law school classes and bar exam prep have long given law students the advantage of complete outlines, nutshells, and bar review materials authored by experts in their subjects. It's time for this concept to be used for notary prep as well. Applying the tried-and-true outlining format successfully employed for bar review, experienced lawyer/notary Michele Childress offers this resource for aspiring Louisiana notaries - whether they're prepping by self-study or as part of organized coursework. A new addition to the best-selling Self-Study Sherpa Series from Quid Pro Books - NOW IN A NEW, SECOND trade paperback edition. This Outline joins the Sidepiece and Sample Questions books as affordable guidance in the journey to becoming a commissioned notary in our state.ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Michele Childress graduated from Loyola Law School-New Orleans after earning her undergraduate degree from Loyola as well. She joined the Louisiana bar in 2002 and received her notarial commission that same year. Along with her husband Alan, she has owned a notary/shipping service in Jefferson Parish, and they have performed thousands of notarial acts of various kinds. They also teach notary prep seminars via Zoom. Michele previously edited new editions of classic books on constitutional law, law study, and U.S. civics.

PREVIOUS EDITION FOR 2023, keyed to the previous Study Guide's page numbers. This is superseded by a newer edition, found at this site. Please look for and use the newer edition if you are prepping with the newer state text.Questions and answers in four separate tests-plus detailed explanations for each right and wrong answer, referencing the latest official state Study Guide-help coach students for the difficult exam. This independent resource at last takes notary prep to the next level by revealing the tricks of questions and formats, tactics for the test, and the law behind it. More generally, it serves as a master class in answering multiple choice questions and tackling tricky exams.Louisiana civil law notaries have unmatched functions, responsibilities, and opportunities-but the exam averages a 20% pass rate. Candidates need all the help they can get. The best prep classes and study groups recommend multiple practice questions to understand the format, content, and coverage of the actual exams the Secretary of State administers each year. Yet even the best workbooks and study aids are costly but barebones in the answers they provide. Their questions help, but students are left matching answers to page numbers. There's no guidance on why they're right-and even less about why other good options aren't "best."This book fills that void with 130 questions and detailed clarifications, plus tactics illustrated by specific formats and options. Explanations are keyed in detail to the 2023 Fundamentals (state study guide). Dr. Childress, author of a best-selling supplemental book decoding the state study guide and teacher of Tulane's undergraduate course in notary law, explains every twist he can think of that the examiners may try. Whether as a recommended supplement to a prep class, as spelled-out lagniappe to other available workbooks, or as a new tool for self-study, this workbook should become standard fare for anyone contemplating becoming a commissioned notary.An affordable addition to the Self-Study Sherpa Series from Quid Pro Books.

New edition in 2023-2024: a fully updated version of this much-read introduction to the office of Notary Public. Louisiana civil law notaries enjoy functions, responsibilities, and earning potential unmatched in any other state - and reserved there to attorneys. Louisiana notaries wield the power not just to verify signatures but also to create the legal papers they notarize, including affidavits, donations, powers of attorney, and even wills and trusts. And so much more, with no educational requirement beyond high school ... but a state exam that is famously challenging. The entire process to become a notary is difficult, and wrapped in some mystery. This book is helpful if you're in the beginning stages of becoming a notary public. Or just thinking about joining the profession. It's about the process of registering to be a notary, and why you'd want to. It's about the classes, books, resources, and options available to prep for the exam. It's not a study guide to the test's content itself. Other books do that, including the best-selling Sidepiece guide also by Prof. Childress of Tulane. But it does explain the format of the exam and the structure of questions so that a candidate knows how to start studying.Previously, no one had offered a guide to the preliminary but confusing steps you take to be eligible for the exam - or rules and tips you'd want to know right away about the exam process and its "open book." Website information can be unclear and incomplete, without disclosing the realities. This book is about "what I wish someone told me from Day One when I was considering becoming a notary in Louisiana."An affordable addition to the Self-Study Sherpa Series from Quid Pro Books.
