Section II-425 - Mitigation
Universal Citation: LA Admin Code II-425
Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. General. Mitigation is a reduction in either the quantity or quality of a punishment. For example, a punishment of $50.00 forfeiture may be reduced to $25.00. The general nature of the punishment remains the same. Mitigation is appropriate when:
1. the recipient has, by the recipient's
subsequent good conduct, merited a reduction in the severity of
punishment.
2. the punishment
imposed was disproportionate to the offense or the offender.
B. Judge Advocate Advice. As the rules for mitigation are somewhat complex, Judge Advocate advice is warranted.
