Sául Litvinoff Distinguished Endowed Professorship

The Sául Litvinoff Distinguished Endowed Professorship was established in 2009 in honor of Professor Sául Litvinoff by his former student, Cordell Haymon (’68) and Ava Leavell Haymon, who both became his dear friends.

Sául Litvinoff began the practice of law in 1949 in his native Argentina, after earning his LL.B, S.J.D., S.C.D at the University of Buenos Aires. In 1961, he came to the United States where he taught and studied at Yale, attaining his LL.M.

Litvinoff was recruited to LSU Law as a visiting professor in 1965. He stayed for more than four decades. In 1976, he became acting director of the Center of Civil Law Studies, where he became renowned for his diligent work on the Louisiana Civil Code, and for his instrumental role in its revision and modernization.
