re: LSU law vs Tulane law

Dude if you can go to a tier 2 school and graduate with minimal debt, why would you go to a different tier 2 school, in the same region, but take on lots of debt? That's foolish. If you're footing the bill yourself, I wouldn't even choose a T14 school over LSU if you want to work in Louisiana.

Is Tulane really that great of a university? I really don't know.

LSU law vs Tulane law Tulane and it's not even close. This is like comparing a Ruth Chris steak to Applebees.

LSU is better if you are practicing in the state (especially in br). Tulane is better if you want to go out of state and is better in nola in some circles.

As of October 31st, 2009: LSU 42, Tulane 0

So go to Mississippi College.

if you insist on going to law school, take the option with the less debt.

have recently been accepted to both schools. If I go to LSU I will graduate with minimal debt because I went to undergrad for free and can now use that money to pay for law school. If I go to Tulane I will have to take out loans

I was in the same situation and chose LSU. Very happy with that decision.

It IS true! The LSU Law CENTER brochure said so!!!

This is a good breakdown. Both schools have their advantages in some legal markets, but it's pretty much a wash as far as getting hired by law firms in Louisiana. As I said earlier, just make sure you graduate near the top of your class and you should have offers from Baton Rouge/NOLA law firms

As a Houston attorney, Tulane carries more weight here. Not even close.
