==Recognition==​

In 1990, Stagg was named to the Byrd High School Hall of Fame. In 2004, he received the LSU [[Paul M. Hebert]] Law Center's Distinguished Alumnus award, which came on the 30th anniversary of his judicial service. A fellow Shreveporter, [[Robert Pugh]], who had served with Stagg at the Constitutional Convention, received the honor in 2003. Therefore, a joint recognition service was held at the Shreveport Petroleum Club on October 14, 2004. Stagg expressed surprise upon his selection: "Upon considering the merit of those recipients who have preceded me, I am very proud to be named the distinguished alumnus for 2004."​<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.law.lsu.edu/globals/onthemove/OnTheMove_v04n02.pdf|title=Pugh and Stagg Named Distinguished Alumni|publisher=law.lsu.edu|date=Fall 2004|accessdate=June 24, 2015}}</ref>
