Quote from Students and Faculty
Andrew Hairston
Class of 2016
"I love the camaraderie that I built with my classmates. Although it's a competitive environment, it’s very collegial. It pushes you to be as good as you can be because you have such sharp people around you."
External Teams
The LSU Law Center fields teams of students to a number of different moot court (appellate advocacy), trial advocacy, and dispute resolution competitions across the United States. All external team members receive one academic credit, pass/fail, for their membership on their team. For more information on the program’s many successes, see our full competitions resume. Students with additional questions should contact Professor Brooks. In order to be considered for membership on a team, students must go through the tryouts process for the type of team that they wish to be on.
