IT IS ORDERED that the September 1, 2005, deadline for filing Certificates of Registration for the 2005/2007 attorney registration biennium for attorneys who are admitted to the practice of law in Ohio and who either work or live in Louisiana, Mississippi, or Alabama be extended to January 3, 2006.
