TheĀ Erick Vincent Anderson Professorship of Law was established by the LSU Board of Supervisors in 1988. Erick V. Anderson, for whom the professorship is named, was a promising graduate of the Law Center who was tragically killed in a skiing accident. As a tribute to him, this professorship was made possible by donations from friends and in particular his family: Mr. and Mrs. Arthur E. Anderson (mother and father) and Miss Karen Anderson (sister).
