hree faculty members received distinguished professorships during the College of Law’s Investiture Ceremony, held November 7: Mary Garvey Algero—Warren E. Mouledoux Distinguished Professorship of Professional Responsibility; Luz M. Molina—Jack Nelson Distinguished Professorship; Dominique M. Custos, Ph.D.—Judge John D. Wessel Distinguished Professorship of Social Justice. Endowed professorships are designed to recruit superior new faculty and retain faculty whose research, teaching, and/or public service have uniquely contributed to the missions of their departments and institutions. The state of Louisiana encourages this commitment to excellence through the Louisiana Board of Regents State Matching Program. Faculty endowment gifts of $600,000 are matched by $400,000 state grants to establish an Eminent Chair of Study, and $60,000 donations are eligible for a match of $40,000 to create a Distinguished Professorship. Stuart H. Smith, H’86, fully funded the Jack Nelson Distinguished Professorship in June 2008. The professorship is named in honor of one of Smith’s mentors at the law school, John P. “Jack” Nelson, Jr., who died in 2006. Nelson not only served on the faculty for decades, beginning in 1955, but he was also responsible for the development of the Gillis Long Poverty Law Center and served as its director for many years. The Judge John D. Wessel Distinguished Professorship of Social Justice was established in 2004 with a gift from the late Judge Wessel. A Circuit Judge in the 15th Judicial Circuit for Palm Beach County in Florida since 1979, Judge Wessel was a 1968 law alumnus. The Mouledoux Family and ExxonMobil Corporation established the Warren E. Mouledoux Distinguished Professorship of Professional Responsibility in 2003 in memory of Warren E. Mouledoux. Mouledoux was editor of the Loyola Law Review and graduated first in his class in 1948. He served the Loyola College of Law as adjunct professor of Professional Responsibility for more than 20 years in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.
