Does a Louisiana law degree travel? Could you graduate LSU and go take the bar exam in Idaho?

I hope to make it through life without the need of a lawyer to unfck a situation.

We need to be consolidating programs not creating new ones.

Now if they want to shut down southern law school… but that’s racist

Texas has 10 law schools. The state population is 31.3 million. That means there is 1 law school per every 3.13 million people Louisiana wants 5 law schools....for a state with 4.6 million people. That would come out to a ratio of 1 law school for every 920k people


I believe Colorado only has two and Idaho only had one. It really makes it hard for locals to obtain a degree and work in the state. I feel like Florida as 20 which really waters down the prestige and competency. The Key West City Attorney just got fired after 7 felony indictments.

Why can’t there be one in the north part of the state and drop one ( UNO) in the southern part if 5 is too many?


UNO doesn't have a law school, buddy.

The 4 law schools in the state are:
LSU (Baton Rouge)
Southern (Baton Rouge)
Tulane (New Orleans) - private
Loyola (New Orleans)- private

No it isn't. North Louisiana doesn't have the population, economy, or legal job market to warrant a new law school. This is just another jobs program for liberals and ambulance chasers. If you want a legal education, go to LSU. There's municipal, state, federal, and appeals courts in BR where students can get plenty of experience.

Needs to merge with LSUA or LSUS.

If you count LSUA, the northern half of the state has 6 public 4 year universities. That's way too many for an area of the state that only has a third of the state's population.

Didn't La Tech already try this?



No, LCU tried (in 2012 I think) to build one in Downtown Shreveport and Speaker Johnson was supposed to be the Dean lol.

It actually had the money but didn't have enough interest from prospective students so they never went through with it.

ULL has been trying like hell to get a medical school in Lafayette but I don't see that happening although I think moving the pharmacy school from Monroe to Lafayette would be a good idea.

I also have a hard time seeing NSU getting this off the ground from a financial standpoint.


Make it fully online and I am in. If i can't beat these trial attorneys I may as well join em.

So uproot an excellent program from ULM and move it to ULL and further put north Louisiana in decline?

Thanks for that delightful insight . . . We’re going to pass.

There's nothing in Monroe lol. It would attract a lot more students to have it in and near major healthcare centers. Sorry you didn't grow your economy?

Lafayette is nice, but it is not without its issues as well.

You need north Louisiana to do well . . . Otherwise you’ll have all the bad element moving down to Lafayette Don’t come fishing in our pond!

If this was MCNeese, they'd be all for it. It's just part of the "North Louisiana sucks" attitude on here.

The medical school is up and running. I’m not familiar enough with the program to provide any details.
