Don't forget about the massive Louisiana budget cuts that LSU will be hitting LSU either because they could further diminish the quality of the law school.

If you indeed have a full scholarship to both schools, I would think you would be smarter than seeking advice on the OT.

Only stat that should matter to the OP...

Gender:

LSU (45% Women)
Tulane (50% Women)

I'm leaning Tulane

Why would that matter?

I'm betting a full ride to Tulane is still going to cost more than the full ride to LSU. Tulane will certainly treat you better than LSU, but you'll be more likely to pass the Bar after going to Bar Review Boot camp.

Good luck.

LSU Law vs. Tulane Law
Full scholarship to both LSU and Tulane Law School and need help making a decision. Any advice?


Is this a serious fricking question? You have a full ride to Tulane. Go to Tulane. It's not even up for debate. And this coming from a proud LSU grad. Like it or not, a Tulane JD has way more sway than a LSU JD in every state except Louisiana, where it has at least equal sway.

Tulane. Do it. Now.

The whole Tulane doesn't prepare you for the civil law of the bar exam is bunk. I suppose LSU may teach the bar exam as its curriculum, the merits of which can be debated I suppose, but you have all the mental ability to study the Barbri notes and pass.

Of course, stats are stats, can't argue that.

Yeah, considering every year people from outside Louisiana come in and pass the bar, it's not exactly impossible to do, even if the only curriculum taught at Tulane was Common Law.

yeah, the stats tend to back up that LSU is better for Bar passage. Tulane beat them what, one year out of the past 75? Hard to argue that, though the Greenies have lots of excuses.

I think it was more the fact that LSU treated everyone like shite, forcing them to study harder, that made their students more likely to pass. Plus LSU weeds out the chumps. Pay your fees, get your Bs, down in N.O.

While I agree with this, one consideration may be scholarship restrictions (although from the sounds of the OP, there may not be any). I saw a lot of my fellow classmates get hit with those at my school.

From a friend that's a 1L at Tulane law on a full ride "I wish I would've gone to LSU if I wasn't near the top of the class I'd try to transfer. I'm one of only 5 people in the class from Louisiana. The northerners all suck, and are pricks. I prefer studying and hanging out with the Loyola law students."

LSU likes to put students in cages and poke them with sharp bamboo poles. Tulane will be much more pleasant. Go to Tulane unless you want to be a plaintiff lawyer and litagate. LSU grads come out like twitchy pit bulls and will stomp the nuts off of most lawyers, but only in litagation. For transactional work they are not as good as Tulane.

Also the network of LSU grads who spent three years in the suck is unbreakable. They can be a Band of Brothers that will lie cheat and steal, to help each other, judges, lawyers, clerks, Supreme Court Justices, whatever.
