Posted on October 29, 2008
- LSU Law Professor Paul R. Baier presented his model of an Honors Law course, which he has taught for more than a decade at LSU Law, at the National Collegiate Honors Council’s annual conference in San Antonio, Texas.
- Baier also successfully represented Secretary of State Jay Dardenne in the U.S. Supreme Court. Along with LSU Law alumna Celia Cangelosi, Baier opposed a stay application filed with Justice Antonin Scalia by the Libertarian Party, which challenged a ruling by the Fifth Circuit keeping the Libertarian Party off the November Presidential election ballot because of its failure to comply in a timely fashion with the state’s filing requirements for ballot access. Scalia referred the application to the full Court, which issued an order of denial.
- Charlene Cain, head of Access Services in the LSU Law Library, was one of two expert speakers at the University of Louisiana at Monroe’s celebration of 60 years as a member of the Louisiana State Documents Depository Program and 45 years as member of the Federal Depository Library Program. Cain shared her expertise on “The Cornerstone of Democratic Values: the Librarian’s Role in Access to Government Information.”
