"It's important to jump into things and get involved and that's what I did — socially, academically, and extracurricular activity. I have no regrets or missed opportunities and law school was a great period of time in my life."

The LSU Law Center remained solidly positioned among the top 100 American law schools. The 2014 U.S. News and World Report Best Graduate Schools rankings placed the Center at 76th nationally.

Legal Citation

Currently the 1L students purchase “The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation” and use this reference manual for writing assignments. Additionally, students learn that citation rules may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. As a result, students are introduced to a host of citation manuals and are instructed to be aware of court customs as well when citing legal authority in practice documents.
