Our Mission

Each year, LSU Law Students exchange their textbooks for shoulder pads and pom poms to put on the annual Barristers' Bowl, a full-tackle charity football game. After being drafted to their respective teams, students enter into a friendly competition and "battle for the gavel" on the field, complete with a performance by an all-law-student cheer squad. While a main goal of the Barristers' Bowl is to provide a fun event for law students, their families, and alumni, the overarching mission of the game is to give back to the community. This year, we are proud to select the Make a Wish Foundation as our annual charity. We have been matched with Jesse, a six-year-old from Slaughter, Louisiana. Jesse's wish is to receive a gaga ball pit with a bucking chute! All proceeds from the event will benefit Jesse and other Make a Wish® children.
