About Julie M.
Julie M. Araujo earned her law degree from Tulane University School of Law in 1999 after completing a bachelor’s degree in political science at Rutgers University in 1992. Her academic path combined a foundation in government and policy with a professional legal education in New Orleans. Those years shaped an interest in courtroom practice and federal procedure.
She is admitted to practice in Louisiana and in several federal districts: the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi and the Eastern, Western and Middle Districts of Louisiana. Admission to these federal benches allows her to appear on behalf of clients in both state and federal matters that arise across the Gulf South.
Her professional affiliations include membership in Bland & Partners. At that firm she works alongside other attorneys and staff on litigation and court filings. Her practice involves preparing pleadings, arguing motions, and presenting matters to judges in the jurisdictions where she is admitted. She handles procedural and substantive phases of cases that require appearances in Louisiana state courts and the federal districts listed on her admissions.
Colleagues describe her as methodical in case preparation and practical in courtroom strategy. She balances attention to detail with the demands of motion schedules and court calendars. Her background in political science informs an interest in how statutory and regulatory frameworks affect litigation strategy, and her years of practice have given her familiarity with federal court rules and local procedures across multiple districts.
Since earning her J.D., Araujo has built a practice rooted in regional litigation. She maintains active admissions in state and federal courts and brings that credential set to her work at Bland & Partners. She currently practices at Bland & Partners, representing clients in matters before Louisiana state courts and the federal districts to which she is admitted.
