The 2023-24 Board of Advocates Executive Committee was elected on the evening of Tuesday, April 4, following the final round of the Dean’s Cup Moot Court Competition, which was won by McKenzie Connelly.
The Board of Advocates is the Law Center’s student honor organization dedicated to the promotion and development of oral and written persuasive advocacy skills. Rising third-year law students are selected to membership on the Board of Advocates based on a holistic application that looks at a student’s success in the Law Center’s many different internal and external advocacy competitions, teams, and other skills development opportunities. The Board of Advocates is the result of a merger of the former Moot Court and Trial Advocacy Boards.
The Executive Committee was elected by the 46 LSU Law students in the Class of 2024 who were selected for membership on the 2023-24 Board of Advocates earlier this spring. The Executive Committee of the 2023-24 Board of Advocates includes:
