The Liskow & Lewis Visiting Professorships in Energy Law was established by the law firm of Liskow & Lewis. The firm, with offices in New Orleans, Lafayette and Houston, is widely known for its seminal work during the formative years of Louisiana mineral law, and today, for its strong business and expanded energy law practice along the Gulf Coast. The firm provides comprehensive client representation in litigation and transactional matters in a broad range of practice areas.
The gift, one of the largest institutional gifts ever received from a Louisiana law firm, was in response to the Law Center’s desire to create a strong 21st Century Energy Law program. The professorship will provide funds to bring distinguished scholars in energy law and closely related fields to the Law Center on an annual basis. The multidisciplinary energy program will help to prepare lawyers for the complex and highly specialized practice of energy law.
