2008 Special Volume Celebrating the Life of Judge Adrian G. Duplantier

  • This past year, Judge Adrian Guy Duplantier passed away after a distinguished career that began in the courtrooms of New Orleans, led through the Louisiana Legislature, and culminated in an appointment to the federal bench where he served for nearly thirty years.  Throughout his long-spanning career in the law, Judge Duplantier kept a running account of his experiences, observations and insights as a Loyola alumnus, a former Law Review Editor-in-Chief, a successful member of the bar, a politician who stood for his beliefs even when those beliefs were widely reviled, a respected member of the federal bench, and perhaps above all, a proud New Orleanian who could tell a great story.   Included in the enclosed special edition of the Loyola Law Review is the Judge’s story, A Louisiana Gallimaufry, which chronicles the more than fifty years of Judge Duplantier’s accomplishments and experiences in Louisiana and beyond.  We hope you enjoy this history of a remarkable life dedicated to justice and to the relationships and experiences that “A” cherished throughout his career.
