The Shreveport Bar Association was proud to host the first session of the James C. McMichael Jr. Institute Trial Academy Lunch & Learn Series this past Friday. This series honors Jim McMichael’s legacy of mentorship and trial advocacy education.

What can today's law students and young lawyers learn from those who came before them?

The Shreveport Bar Association's Oral Histories Project preserves conversations with distinguished attorneys whose careers have shaped our legal community. Through these interviews, seasoned lawyers share the experiences, challenges, lessons, and values that guided them throughout their professional lives.

We hope these stories will inspire the next generation of lawyers and help preserve the rich history of our profession.

Thank you to KTBS 3 News for covering one of our legal community's favorite annual traditions!

Yesterday, members of the Shreveport Bar Association gathered at Holy Trinity Catholic Church for the annual Red Mass in observance of Law Day.

This tradition brings together judges, attorneys, and community leaders to seek guidance, wisdom, and integrity in the administration of justice.

We are grateful to all who joined us for this meaningful service as we reflect on the important role of the legal profession in serving our community.
