 "I am still amazed that I am taught by the people who actually had a hand in making the laws of the state or wrote the treatises that we all rely upon for help. Sometimes I feel as though I have a backstage pass to know what is going on and what the true intent of laws are by listening to their stories."
Michelle Renee’ Shamblin, a 2009 graduate and member of the Louisiana Law Review, was awarded the 2009 Scribes Law-Review Award for her article, Silencing Chicken Little: Options for School Districts after Parents Involved. She is the first student in the history of the Law Center to receive the national award.
Financing Your Legal EducationThere are several ways to finance your legal education. At LSU Law, we offer merit based scholarships. Scholarships and grants are available to first-year and upperclass students. Approximately one-third of our law students received some form of scholarship assistance. Admitted first-year students are automatically considered for scholarship assistance. Awards are extended to those students who are most clearly expected to contribute to the intellectual life of the Law Center and have ranged from $1,000 awards to full tuition scholarships. Rising second-and third-year law students are considered each year for scholarship support. Students are also able to apply for federally funded need based loans. To do so, students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as they have decided to apply to law school. Prospective Law School students should not wait until they hear from the Office of Admissions to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid Form (FAFSA). Completion of the FAFSA will assist the Office of Financial Aid in determining your loan eligibility.
