Thanks to a required focus on both civil and common law–and a natural comparative focus from the curricular coexistence of the two—LSU Law Center graduates offer unique skills that can be applied in Louisiana civil practice, common law practice for the other 49 states and international engagement.
LSU Law Center’s rigorous curriculum, the quality and accessibility of the faculty, and our unsurpassed record over time in state bar passage rates mean LSU Law students have the training, knowledge and skills needed for successful employment. Our students are able to pursue individual career plans, whether in Louisiana, another state or internationally.
For LSU Law graduates and legal professionals, the Center of Continuing Professional Development extends the knowledge and resources of the LSU Law Center to the Louisiana Bar. The Center offers some 20 professional development seminars each year in various locations throughout Louisiana. It is the premier provider of continuing legal education in the state.
LSU Law’s curriculum prepares students to succeed in Louisiana, throughout the nation and in dealing with global legal issues that may arise close to home or in an international environment. The school’s winning moot court teams, professional skills training in research and writing, extensive field placements and pro bono opportunities — combined with LSU law students’ energy and willingness to work hard — mean that LSU Law grads hit the ground running, wherever their careers take them.
