I had no intention of practicing law because it is terribly boring, and the people are horrible.

My advice is to seek a different career. I’m not joking.
This is what I tell anyone who asks me.

The worst part of my day is always dealing with other lawyers.

I don’t know much about Louisiana law market but I do know these facts because Mississippi is similar
1. State is losing population
2. State is full of “billboard” attorneys
3. Its most likely a good ol boy type system where you need contacts and the “I knew your daddy come to my firm for a job if you need one” type stuff to really reach the higher levels
It may depend on what type of law she wants to pursue. Criminal? Personal injury? Corporate? Etc
I’d advise to stay closer to home and go where the population and economy is doing well. With growth comes increased demand for services. In places like Louisiana where growth is stagnant and population declining, an outsider will have a difficult time getting clients from local established attorneys

To the OP, the person who posted the above isn’t joking. If your daughter is bright, hardworking, and personable, she should consider another profession.
