The Justice Pike Hall, Jr. Professor of Law was established by the LSU Board of Supervisors in 1996. It is dedicated to bringing in distinguished members of the judiciary as visiting faculty to serve as Justice Pike Hall, Jr., Professor of Law. This professorship was made possible by a donation made by the Justice Pike Hall Campaign Committee from campaign funds remaining after Justice Hall’s retirement. Pike Hall, Jr., a 1953 graduate of the Law Center, is widely admired and respected throughout America, which includes his career in the Louisiana Judiciary serving as Chief Judge of the Second Circuit Court of Appeal and service as a Justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court.
