The Preis and Roy Director of Advocacy and Professional Practice Professorships was established through a $250,000 gift by the Preis and Roy law firm. The endowed professorship gift will support the director of the Law Center’s Advocacy and Professional Practice program and provide funds to support activities of the advocacy program. The firm’s gift is the first institutional gift of this size to be received by the Law Center.
Preis and Roy was established over 30 years ago by Mr. Ed Preis, a 1972 graduate of LSU Law, and Mr. Lane Roy. As a corollary to the firm’s primary marine and energy practice, Preis and Roy attorneys also specialize in contractual indemnity, insurance, party property, bad faith liability, and non-marine and general casualty law. The firm has 53 attorneys in its Lafayette, Houston and New Orleans offices. Some 24 of the firm’s lawyers are LSU Law Center graduates.
