The J. B. Nachman Endowed Professorship of Law was established by the LSU Board of Supervisors in 1984 in honor of the late J. B. Nachman, a member of the law class of 1920. This professorship was made possible by donations from the family of J. B. Nachman: Mrs. Mary Anna L. Nachman, Mrs. Ann N. Finkelstein, Leonard R. Nachman, II, Esq., and Dr. Lisso Nachman.
