Wills for Heroes serves local first responders!

The Baton Rouge Bar Association joined the Louisiana State Bar Association Young Lawyers Section and the Wills for Heroes Foundation on Aug. 15 to provide free estate planning services to members of the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office and other first responders. Volunteer attorneys completed more than 50 wills, helping local law enforcement officers and their families prepare for the future.

A new BRBA event is taking you back to class...

Think you know your stuff? Put it to the test at Are You Smarter Than a Law Student?, a legal trivia gameshow hosted by Luke Williamson and inspired by Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?

Multiple teams of three attorneys each will go head-to-head, tackling trivia questions with a classroom full of law students available as their resources. Between rounds, enjoy cocktails, commercial breaks and plenty of competition as teams battle for bragging rights.

Think your team has what it takes to survive the classroom?

Apply to compete at https://brba.fillout.com/t/3KQg7KNFP6us

Volunteers are still needed! We’ve got plenty of spots left for the opportunity to assist a local first responder. No estate planning experience required.

With more than 75 local first responders already registered, we need your help to make Wills for Heroes a success.

Wills for Heroes is a national program that provides free wills, powers of attorney and advance healthcare directives to police officers, firefighters and EMS personnel. We're seeking 40-55 volunteer attorneys to serve in a variety of roles, and no estate planning experience is required.

First-time volunteers will complete a brief online CLE to learn the Will Generator software. Ready to help? Visit the Wills for Heroes Sign-Up Page to select a volunteer shift.
