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 — now in its second edition — to the Self-Study Sherpa Series from Quid Pro Books, this book joins the Sidepiece and Sample Questions texts as affordable guidance in the journey to becoming a commissioned notary in our state.
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.
