EXHIBIT 31

                                  CERTIFICATION

I, Mike Ulrich, certify that:

      1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of LL&E Royalty
Trust, for which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acts as Trustee;

      2. Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such
statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this
quarterly report;

      3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition, distributable income and changes in trust
corpus of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly
report;

      4. I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)), or for causing such controls and procedures to be
established and maintained, for the registrant and have:

            a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
      disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under my supervision, to
      ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its
      consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to me by others within those
      entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report is
      being prepared;

            b) designed such internal control over financial reporting, or
      caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under
      my supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
      of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
      external purposes in accordance with the basis of accounting described in
      Note 3;

            c) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
      controls and procedures and presented in this report my conclusions about
      the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
      of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

            d) disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
      control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
      most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably
      likely to materially affect the registrant's internal control over
      financial reporting; and


      5. I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal
control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors:

            a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
      design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
      reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record,
      process, summarize and report financial information; and

            b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves any persons who
      have a significant role in the registrant's internal control over
      financial reporting.

      In giving the foregoing certifications in paragraphs 4 and 5 above, I have
relied to the extent I consider reasonable on information provided to me by the
Working Interest Owner and the Managing General Partner of LL&E Royalty
Partnership, in which the registrant owns a 99% interest.
