Many of us have been or know people who have been affected by the August 2016 flood in the Baton Rouge area. Many LSU Law students, faculty and staff have lost a lot and are in the process of clean up and recovery. If you are in need of assistance – whether it be notes from class or help ripping out drywall – or if you wish to donate goods or volunteer, visit the LSU Law website to register for help. As we work toward getting back to normal, we thank everyone for their well wishes and desire to help.
If you lost your diploma as a result of the flooding in Baton Rouge, LSU is offering complimentary replacement diplomas, including LSU Law diplomas. These requests should be emailed directly to Sarah Thompson at sarahmartin@lsu.edu.

Students were also recorded and critiqued by faculty members and professional attorneys on their oral and non-verbal advocacy skills.
