Have you looked outside the B.R. and N.O. areas?

Edit: I guess my question is where would you be willing to go?


Yeah, I've mainly looked in BR, NO, Lafayette, Houston, Dallas and Austin. I've also looked a little in DC and Atlanta. So to answer your second question, I'd be willing to go to any of these places and possibly others if the right opportunity came along.

In my opinion, those are probably the worst places to look right now. Now is the time to look at smaller, underserved areas. There may be tons of legal jobs in those areas, but those are the places with the largest layoffs so you have a high number of people chasing the few job openings. Maybe search the smaller areas right now to find a job. Move to those other places during the next boom.

How can you look in all those areas? If you are a member of the bar in Louisiana aren't you kind of restricted to only working in LA? Would a firm in Atlanta or Dallas hire you if you weren't barred in GA or TX? I thought that was kind of the bitch of being a Lawyer is that you couldn't move freely without taking another bar.
