Because Louisiana has a very different legal system than any other state. It is much easier to pass the bar in another state with a Louisiana law school education than to pass the Louisiana bar with a law education from another state.

Also, even a mediocre law school like Southern carries more weight in Louisiana than a good law degree from Texas.

I'm sure that it is more than doable for an out of stater to pass the Louisiana bar.

As far as a Southern degree carrying more weight, you might want to double check with others in the industry.

I graduated from SULC and I can tell you that this is not a true statement.
