The LLR Lagniappe, formerly known as the “Digital Digest,” is the official blog of the Louisiana Law Review.
The LLR Lagniappe features short commentaries of legal developments in Louisiana and across the country. Our blog seeks to harness valuable scholarly insight that may otherwise not fit within the traditional limitations of the printed Louisiana Law Review.
The LLR Lagniappe is currently limited to Law Review members, legal practitioners, and faculty members. Submissions from these sources are reviewed by the Board and accepted for publication subject to the Board's discretion. If you would like to write for the LLR Lagniappe, please contact Maggie Sternberg at mstern6@lsu.edu.
The LLR Lagniappe is managed by the Online Editor and the Editorial Board of the Louisiana Law Review at the Paul M. Hebert Law Center.
