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.

Advocacy Resources Folder for LSU Law Students

  • All LSU Law Center students can access an extensive folder of resources (evidence handbooks, brief-writing guides, bibliographies, citation exercises, and other tools) for their use in preparing to compete in the Advocacy Programs’ internal competitions and on our external traveling teams. To access the folder, visit the LSU Law Center Remote File Access page, log in using your MyLSU credentials, and then navigate to Community Files -> Restricted -> Advocacy Resources.

#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!
