A Few Articles from the Sunday Advocate

The Advocate had two interesting articles in Sunday's paper. The first article reports on the legal fees associated with the East Baton Rouge Parish school system desegregation case. The system has spent $600,000 so far this year and has paid roughly $7.5 million to lawyers, consultants and court monitors since the 1995-1996 fiscal year, when the School Board entered into an agreement, or consent decree, with the plaintiffs in the case."

The second article provides an overview of the first eighteen months of David Dugas', the United States Attorney for the Middle District of Louisiana, appointment in Baton Rouge.
