Jones Walker is a sponsor of the 12th Annual Burkenroad Reports Investment Conference hosted by Tulane University's A. B. Freeman School of Business.  The conference will be held at the New Orleans Sheraton Hotel on Friday, April 25, 2008.  The event is free, open to the public, and enables investors to hear presentations from top management from three dozen public companies in the region.  The conference focuses on deep-south companies traditionally under-followed by Wall Street and covered by the Burkenroad Reports, a program created in 1993 through which students develop practical insight and marketable evidence of stock analysis skills.
