The LSBA Suit Up for the Future High School Summer Legal Institute and Internship Program is a three-week legal institute, during which students attend an abridged law school session, field trips to law schools and courts, and an internship consisting of shadowing at area law offices and courts.
The application deadline of May 10, 2021 is fast approaching.The three-week program will be held at the Louisiana Bar Center and is scheduled on June 14, 2021 – July 2, 2021. Students who complete the program will be eligible for a stipend of up to $250.00! Students must provide their own transportation to the program. Students have the option of paying a residential housing fee if housing is needed (adult chaperone required). The estimated housing cost for three-weeks is $1,080 and approximately $60 per day. Please contact Cara Traczek at catracze@loyno.edu for more information.
Over the course of the three-week program, students will be introduced to lawyers, legal documents, and the legal system, all designed to assist them in pondering one important question, “Do I really want to be a lawyer?” Inside the “Suit Up classroom,” students will experience the Socratic teaching method and gain exposure to specified law school courses, including, criminal law and legal research and writing. Students will also receive a mock trial problem, which will serve as the basis for the legal writing assignment and oral argument the students will present to a panel of judges at the end of the program.
In a second component of the “Suit Up classroom,” students will be provided with advice and substantive information from guest speakers, and receive instruction in creating competitive resumes, preparing for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), professionalism, ethics, and workplace etiquette and attire. The time inside the classroom will provide students with ample time to work as a group on assignments and seek feedback from various legal mentors throughout the course.
A third facet of the course will allow Suit Up participants to step outside the classroom and see first-hand what it means to be a “lawyer.” The attorney shadowing is designed to provide students with the following experiences: (1) a tour of the law firm/agency, including all departments, so that students gain an understanding of all of the support staff that comprise a law firm/agency; (2) the opportunity to join the attorney on outings (such as depositions, hearings, and trials); (3) lunch with the attorney; and (4) mentoring and support on the oral argument and supporting legal memorandum being developed by the student. Students will also prepare a list of questions to ask attorneys whom they shadow so that the student gains an appreciation of the day-to-day schedule of an attorney, as well as the role that lawyers play in society and in the administration of justice. *Students must have transportation to and from the shadowing assignment.
Finally, the Suit Up students will attend several field trips. The students will tour two area law schools, the Louisiana Supreme Court, the Court museum, and federal court buildings. During the tours, students will hear from several guest speakers and may have the opportunity to view proceedings at several state and federal courts. Interested students should visit: http://www.lsba.org/goto/suitupapp There is an online application process. Students will be requested to provide: a copy of their last Report Card or Progress Report (an official transcript is not required); one letter of recommendation from a teacher, counselor, minister, or any individual who can attest to the student’s character; and a short essay of 500 words or less on the importance of the American legal system and the role it plays in developing and maintaining our society.

May 10, 2021 Eligible Applicants:
11th grade in Fall of 2021

No. 5 Southern Lab comes up with big plays against Opelousas Catholic
The No. 5-seeded Southern Lab Kittens used big plays on offense and forced four fumbles on a soggy night in A.W. Mumford Stadium to defeat No. 12-seeded Opelousas Catholic Vikings 34-14 in the first round of the Division IV select playoffs. By Joh Beck (Link to Article)

The No. 5-seeded Southern Lab Kittens used big plays on offense and forced four fumbles on a soggy night in A.W. Mumford Stadium to defeat No. 12-seeded Opelousas Catholic Vikings 34-14 in the first round of the Division IV select playoffs.
The Kittens imposed their will in the second half, using a bruising rushing attack to set up the play-action pass. Southern Lab junior quarterback Angelo Izzard completed 4 of 7 passes for 132 yards and three TDs, adding 44 yards on the ground.
Senior running back Lutrell Pruitt had 14 carries for 84 yards and one TD along with two catches for 101 yards and two TDs. Opelousas Catholic senior quarterback Drake Guidry was 12 of 31 for 115 yards and one TD. Senior receiver Keon Coleman had four catches for 41 yards and one TD.
The Kittens (4-3) got off to a hot start on offense in the first quarter with junior running back Shawn Bates breaking a run to the right sideline and speeding past the Vikings defensive backs for a 76-yard score to tie the score at 7-7 with 8:12 to go in the first quarter. Southern Lab struck again quickly as Izzard hit sophomore receiver Carl Williams streaking down the middle of the field for a 31-yard TD pass.
The Vikings (3-4) struggled protecting the middle of the field throughout the game, as Izzard would later find Pruitt on TD passes of 68 and 31 yards, both on routes running down the seam.
Southern Lab got the 68-yard TD pass with 2:32 to go in the third quarter and forced an Opelousas Catholic fumble on their ensuing drive, returning it all the way to the 2-yard line where Pruitt punched it in to give the Kittens a 27-7 lead and sealing the victory.
After scoring on their first drive in the game, the Vikings struggled to find a rhythm on offense, in large part because of drops and failing to protect the football in wet conditions.
While he only completed four passes, Izzard protected the ball and came up big when the Kittens needed it most. On multiple drives Izzard scrambled on third down to keep drives alive and was accurate on all of his throws only missing his receivers because of drops. In a game where both teams combined for seven fumbles, Izzard managed the game well and handled multiple high and low snaps from his center on shotgun plays.
The Kittens could’ve put the game far out of reach early had it not been for multiple holding calls that negated big gains on the ground. Southern Lab had runs of 106 total yards called back in the first and second quarters, and the majority of them would’ve put them in the red zone.
The Kittens had 13 penalties for 96 yards, something that the Kittens will need to improve in their next game. Guidry accounted for three of the four fumbles lost by the Vikings, all three coming on sacks.

Southern Lab's Lutrell Pruitt leading way for red-hot Kittens
The 2020 season has been atypical for every high school in America, but even without the COVID-19 pandemic, Southern Lab was destined for a year outside the norm. (Link to Article)
Article by: BY JIM KLEINPETER | CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The 2020 season has been atypical for every high school in America, but even without the COVID-19 pandemic, Southern Lab was destined for a year outside the norm.
Usually well-stocked with players in all classes, the Kittens found themselves short on seniors. Fortunately for coach Daryl Asberry, he had enough of the right kind.
Senior running back Lutrell Pruitt has been a rock for the Kittens, who, with victories in their last two outings, have gotten on a roll going into a key District 6-1A game against Slaughter Community Charter at A.W. Mumford Stadium at 7 p.m. Friday.
Pruitt’s contribution goes far beyond his 1,110 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns, and his placekicking duties. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound running back has been a steadying influence in surviving a 1-3 start to improve to 3-3.
“He’s helped us hold things together, a key piece to the run we’re trying to make,” Asberry said. “To have him healthy means a lot. (As) team captain, teammates respond to him. He’s not very vocal but leads by example.”
Pruitt said he knew coming off the consecutive losses in the Class 1A playoff semifinals the past two years meant he needed to step forward, especially since there weren’t many other options. Pruitt was one of five seniors on the roster and only three of them have gotten significant playing time.
Pruitt said he was aware of what was expected of him even before the pandemic turned the season on its head.
“I matured as a leader after last year,” he said. “I tried to encourage the guys in the offseason to work out on their own since we couldn’t work out as a team. I told everyone to stay focused and stay out of trouble.
“I was skeptical about the season. We were just hoping it wouldn’t be cancelled. Playing the 5A schools prepared us for the district schedule and the playoffs, mentally and physically. I don’t look at it like that (being inexperienced. We’re young across the board but we’re coming along pretty well.”
The Kittens have beaten their last two opponents, Thrive Academy and Central Private, by a combined 122-14. Quarterback Angelo Izzard has passed for 1,003 yards and 12 scores to bring balance to a young offense.
The youth was tested further when as three starters have been lost for the season with injuries, two of them juniors.
But with all of the added obstacles on top of the late start to a season that missed out on spring practice, Pruitt has stepped like former teammates, and current LSU Tigers Tyrion Davis and Kardell Thomas.
“He’s a special athlete, a great person,” Asberry said. “He’s an intelligent kid and has a passion about football and the game of life. We talk about (life) being something much bigger than football.
“He’s always asking questions about how life relates to football. He keeps me on my toes and keeps me thinking.”
Pruitt said he can see his teammates improving and pulling together for a late-season run.
“I just try to stay focused on football and set an example for the younger guys and don’t worry about the extra stuff,” he said. “I remember learning from Tyrion Davis-Price Davis and Kardell Thomas, who are playing for LSU. I learned how to work hard and be the best player I could be. I do whatever coach asks me.”
