Loyola New Orleans College of Law Mardi Gras History

In commemoration of the College of Law’s centennial, and with the carnival season at hand, the Law Library currently has on exhibit “Loyola University New Orleans College of Law Mardi Gras Traditions Over the Years”. Stop by the circulation desk to browse articles and photographs of the Mardi Gras celebration that the law school held each year starting in 1977. The tradition faded in the late 1990s, but with today’s parade, hopefully we will renew our annual Mardi Gras tradition.

And here’s an online version of the Powerpoint display running in conjunction with the exhibit:


Happy Mardi Gras!

Mitch Landrieu & 1984 Loyola Moot Court Tem

From the archives of the old Loyola Law School newspaper, The Code, comes this picture:

That’s from the October 1984 issue of The Code. Young “Mitchell Landrieu” would, of course, grow up to become the Mayor of New Orleans.

Election day is Saturday: Go Vote!
