The Order of the Barristers
LSU Law is one of more than 100 law schools with a chapter of The Order of the Barristers, a national honorary organization whose purpose is the encouragement of oral advocacy and brief writing skills through effective law school oral advocacy programs.
Each year, graduating students who have excelled in moot court, mock trial, brief writing, oral advocacy, and other advocacy programs throughout their time at LSU Law are invited to apply for membership. Applications are reviewed by a committee of faculty members, who then recommend the candidates for induction into the LSU Law chapter to the dean.
