About the Office

The Office of the Vice President of Legal

We work with the System's leadership and institutions, including the Board of Supervisors, President, Chancellors, and Executive Officers and the universities and research enterprises across its campuses, to solve legal issues encountered in pursuit of LSU's educational and research missions.
