Perrin Named One of Outstanding Alumni at Homecoming

Warren A. Perrin earned a bachelor’s degree in economics in 1969.

He earned a juris doctorate from LSU in 1972, and is a partner with the firm of Perrin, Landry & deLaunay.

Perrin is a skills professor at Loyola Law School in New Orleans.

In 2013, he donated papers and other materials to UL Lafayette that document his 15-year quest to obtain an official apology from England for the expulsion of Acadians from Nova Scotia in the 1700s. The apology was made on Dec. 9, 2003.

Queen Elizabeth II signed a Royal Proclamation that acknowledged wrongs committed against Acadians and established “A Day of Commemoration of the Great Upheaval” that is recognized yearly on July 28.

Perrin has earned recognition for promoting Acadian culture and history, including helping to launch UL Lafayette’s New Acadia Project. The University’s archeology and anthropology departments are attempting to locate the lost 1765 Acadian settlement on the Bayou Teche.
