Advancing Equal Justice and law-related education through Fellowship


Fellows Class Project

In partnership with Louisiana Appleseed, the Fellows Class Project Series is a way for new Fellows to become involved and be a part of the LBF mission.

2011 Fellows Class Project
The Fellows Class of 2011 focuses on increasing community awareness about teen dating violence and the importance of prevention through education.

Any Fellows interested in participating may contact Kathleen McNelis.

2010 Fellows Class Project
The Fellows Class of 2010 focused on preserving homeownership through community outreach. The class attended community events and talked to homeowners about the importance of obtaining clear title to their property. Attendees were given a copy of Appleseed's Protect Your Property: Heir Property in Louisiana, a homeowners guide to building wealth and protecting assets.

"Becoming a LBF Fellow and a member of the Class Project Series was a great opportunity for me to volunteer in a unique and rewarding way." Hon. Marie A. Bookman (ret.)

"I thoroughly enjoyed helping educate our community about the importance of clear title and the resources available to them in our legal community." Patricia A. Garcia

2008 Fellows Class Project
