Pugh Accardo is pleased to sponsor again The Greater New Orleans Louis A. Martinet Legal Society’s Annual Jazz Brunch and Scholarship Gala held on September 28, 2024.  This year’s theme was Justice in Action: Empowering Change in Challenging Times.  For additional information click here.

The Louis Martinet Society was founded in 1957 by some of Louisiana’s most prominent African-American attorneys and is named after one of the African-American pioneers of the legal profession in the 1870’s who went on to become one of the key figures in the fight for civil rights during and after Reconstruction, culminating in the U.S. Supreme Court’s Plessy V. Ferguson decision in 1896. The Society today promotes legal scholarship, the administration of justice in Louisiana, and the welfare of our state’s legal profession.
