Please tell us about the organizations and activities you participated in at LSU Law, including any awards or honors you received.
I was a member of the LSU Journal of Energy Law and Resources Volume XII, serving as a Production Editor, and received the Best Note/ Comment Award for my publication, “The Road To Hell is Paved with Good Intentions (and Master Settlement Agreements): Alternatives to Climate Litigation Informed by Cautionary Tales of Tobacco and Opioid.” Academically, I have received the Paul M.

My fondest memories are meeting some of my now closest friends within the first few weeks in my 1L section (Section 2) and spending my summers in Houston for my summer associate position.
What advice would you give to students entering law school who aspire to become Order of the Coif members when they graduate?
I would advise students hoping to become a member of Order of the Coif to study as hard as they did their first semester of law school every single semester after that, until their last 3L final is taken
