Resources

The Advocacy Programs offer a number of training workshops and skills development resources to students, faculty, and staff of the LSU Law Center to assist them in developing both their written and oral advocacy skills. Please visit the links and resources below for more information.

#FastTrackFriday Workshops

On Friday afternoons throughout much of the fall semester, the Advocacy Programs faculty will host a series of “fast-track” intensive skills workshops designed to give students exposure to skills necessary for success in internal and external competitions being held at the LSU Law Center in that semester. The #FastTrackFriday workshops are open to all LSU Law Center students, but are particularly intended for 2L and 3L students who plan to participate in Advocacy Programs competitions. Students can freely attend any or all of the workshops. No registration is necessary. No preparation is necessary. Simply show up!

All Fall 2023 #FastTrackFriday Workshops will be held from 3:00-4:00 pm in Room 110 at the Law Center.
