The "best" law school in the state is different for each individual.
Largely depends on where you want to work and how much debt you want to incur.

From what I had heard was LSU Law did it to get away from the budget cuts. That was the only positive. Everything else is a negative.
I'm not sure they had much of a choice is my point.

Fiance went there for law school. Could be worse. I can't believe Alabama is ranked so highly.

Does UAB have a law school?
No.
In AL you have:
Alabama
Cumberland (Samford)
Jones (Faulkner)
Birmingham School of Law (Alex Shunnarah alum)
Miles

Is considered a top tier law school by many now.

Certainly think it's considered Tier 1 (obviously is). More questionable as to whether it is really viewed as a top 25 school. I don't really see that, but there is no question the reputation has improved a lot in the last decade.

Yeah, my fiance graduated from UT Law 4 years ago and I feel like at the time Alabama and UT were considered about even. I guess it's hard to say that though, because perception varies depending on where you are and what firms you talk to.

Go look at the school listings for Carvath, Wachtell, Skadden etc etc and that will let you know who the top tier schools are.

SEC schools doing work minus LSU

When you have 70 people take the bar and 20 of them fail, that is not a good result for an elite law school.
The rankings take the bar passage rate from the state where the most students took the exam.
So, if Tulane had 71 or more grads take the bar in a single different state, that pass rate counts instead of the Louisiana one.

Does LSU only teach the Napoleonic code?

That plus Tulane having no real "base of power" is currently hurting it. Tulane is solid in a lot of areas, but struggles to get top billing anywhere which hurts prestige.

There are 2 other positives from joining the law center to main campus:
Greater ease for aquiring joint degrees (JD and masters)
Ability for law students to audit classes on the main campus.

Unlikely Tulane had 70 in any state besides LA.
Plus it seems recently the most useless parts of the class are the ones who hang around NOLA to live the party life and experience the culcha which hurts.

LSU needs to just scrape Napoleonic law and teach a hybrid with a focus on more Common law issues. Louisiana needs to get with the rest of the planet and move faster towards Common law as well because LSU will never be elite when it is thought of as a Napoleonic dominated teaching institution.

LSU and Southern are civil law based, Tulane and Loyola have common law and civil law tracks.
What I see over and over again are kids from Loyola and Tulane taking the path of least resistance and not taking civil code courses then they sit for the LA bar and get their arse handed to them.

Sadly, you see a lot of Jones and Cumberland grads coming out of law school with $250,000+ in loans and no jobs. At least with the BSL grads (considering if they pass the bar), they at least have no loans as most students pay cash for their low tuition. Miles has maybe had 1 grad pass the bar in the last ten years. Its the SULC of Alabama.
