Associate Hieu “Scott” Le was on a panel of members from the Louisiana State Bar Association (LSBA) Diversity Committee’s LGBT Subcommittee who spoke at the “Out in the Law: Building a Career with Pride and Protection” event hosted by LSA Law on September 23, 2025.

The session, which was held at the Paul M. Herbert Law Center’s McKernan Law Auditorium, explored how Title VII and related case law protect identity in the workplace. Attendees gained tools for navigating professional spaces, learning how to identify affirming employers, and discovering how student and attorney organizations can help build a career rooted in authenticity.

Scott is the co-chair of the LGBT Subcommittee, which coordinates programs to unite, support, and educate attorneys, judges, professors, law students, paralegals, and other members of the legal profession in Louisiana around issues facing LGBT individuals. The subcommittee also promotes the creation of coalitions with other legal bar associations and organizations; encourages the adoption of nondiscrimination policies in law firms protecting both sexual orientation and gender identity; and encourages and empowers LGBT individuals to choose law as a career.
