Broussard earned a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Southwest Louisiana (now University of Louisiana at Lafayette). He went on to graduate from Loyola Law School in 1981 with his J.D.[5]
Career
Two years after graduating from law school, Broussard took a clerkship position with U.S. District Court Judge Richard J. Putnam. He later joined his father and grandfather in their law practice, as well as working as an assistant district attorney from 1984 until his election to the Abbeville City Court in 2001.[5]
Throughout his transitions, Broussard has maintained a steady private practice from 1983 to the present, about which he said in an interview with Zachary Plainsman-News,
| “ | My practice was very general. I’ve done everything from domestic to property to civil disputes. I’ve prosecuted and defended in personal injury ‘suits and the like.[5][6] | ” |
He also developed the Abbeville City Court Mentoring Program, the first juvenile program in Vermilion Parish. It aims to provide services for first- and some second-time juvenile offenders that will prevent them from repeating their behaviors.[5]
