Loyola Lawyer
In this edition:
Moot Court Mastery: In the nearly 60 years that the College of Law students have participated in moot court, they have enjoyed great success. The student-run Moot Court Program has garnered awards, respect, recognition, and support locally and across the nation, and has given its students the experience and exposure essential to successful careers.
Trial By Fire: While in law school, students are taught the fundamentals of the law, ensuring they are prepared to pass the exam and become practicing attorneys. However, when it comes time to appear in court, many find that they lack the vital skills and knowledge to become good litigators. But that is changing at Loyola thanks to the Trial Advocacy Program.
Father Chief Justice: In the summer of 1996, Paul R. Baier, a professor at LSU's Law Center, wanted to rekindle the memory of an often overlooked chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, E.D. White. Baier wrote the five-act play, Father Chief Justice: E.D. White and the Constitution, which was performed at Loyola University New Orleans on February 4 to an overflow crowd of more than 400.
From The Courtroom To The Classroom: While Paul Pastorek, B'76, L'79, Louisiana state superintendent of education, has maintained a successful law career, he has also continued to commit time and energy toward satisfying his passion for serving the public.
