In 2016, Lolley became the subject of media scrutiny when it was revealed that he had contacted Monroe attorney Mark Neal in violation of the judicial code of ethics, which forbids a judge from discussing substantive matters on the merit of a pending case. Lolley initiated an ex-parte communication with Neal in which he advised the attorney that the appeals court would likely decide against Neal's client, the Sixth Street Saloon in Monroe, which had been in a long-running legal dispute over an alcohol license. Lolley told Neal that handling such cases would be a detriment to his future as a lawyer.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hannapub.com/ouachitacitizen/news/local_state_headlines/attorney-blows-whistle-on-second-circuit-judge-larry-lolley-for/article_4299f3a6-b190-11e6-b7a6-b3581055620e.html|title=Attorney blows whistle on Second Circuit Judge Larry Lolley|publisher=''The Ouachita Citizen''|date=November 23, 2016|author=Zach Parker|accessdate=February 19, 2018}}</ref> At the time of the Neal matter, Judge Lolley indicated that he would complete his ten-year term which would have ended on December 31, 2018; however, he chose to resign effective May 3, 2017, and died nine months later.
