As we enter this holiday season–a time for reflection, gratitude, and generosity–I am reminded of how deeply the spirit of giving shapes the work of the Louisiana Bar Foundation. The holidays inspire us to care for our neighbors, assist those facing hardship, and to strengthen the communities we call home. It is in this spirit that we at the Louisiana Bar Foundation are taking time to reflect on a year in which our mission–to preserve, protect, and advance civil legal aid and access to justice for all Louisianans—has never been more vital.
