The Wedon T. Smith Professorship in Civil Law was established in 2007 by Eula Tullos Smith in honor of her late husband, Wedon T. Smith, a 1939 graduate of the Law Center. After serving as an officer in the Navy during World War II, Smith began his legal career in Jonesville, Louisiana. A former member of the Louisiana Bar Association board of governors and board of delegates, he was also a member of the LSU Law Center Hall of Fame and a 2005 inductee in the LSU Hall of Distinction. Smith was a director and president of the LSU Foundation and actively involved in many civic associations and charities. This Law Center professorship was Smith’s wish and dream and was made possible by his wife Eula and daughters Rebecca and Mary. The recipient of the Wedon T. Smith Professorship in Civil Law shall be an accomplished and proven academic who teaches in the discipline of civil law.
