re: Does Southern have a good law school?

No, they are not very good by comparison to any other school in the state, but that doesn't mean that you can't get a good education.
If you're just looking to get a J.D. and start your own practice, then there's nothing wrong with it. I'd be weary personally--the Southern University system as a whole is garbage and the administration does not have the best interests of the students in mind. See the early 2000s scandal where some admins were literally selling people degrees for $1,200 or the current athletics debacle for example.
These aren't in the law school, but it goes to show how terrible that system functions as a whole.

Agree 100%. The place is frustrating as hell. On the first day of each semester I had to go to at least 3 different buildings to pay my fee bill, 4 if I wanted a parking pass.
The law professors, by and large, are great. Most are practicing attorneys with entertaining stories of real clients. My friends at LSU took crim law from a guy who had never practiced a day in his life, my crim law professor was a former advisor to the president of Nigeria and once witnessed a client get stoned to death. I took that class 7 years ago and could easily pass the criminal portion of the bar exam today.
