I would consider eating my hat if the median attorney income in Louisiana was much over $100k. I would be more shocked if it was $150k versus about $80k

I agree.

There are a lot of lawyers not in big firms in Nola and BR. A LOT of them.

I don’t think that looking at people who simply have law degrees is enough. You need to evaluate positions that require the use of a law degree. I would be shocked to find a significant number of practicing Louisiana attorneys working in the private sector for less than $100k a year after ten years of practice.

Even a small town lawyer with his own firm billing at $150/hour would easily hit that billing 1500 hours a year.
