Some of the New Orleans firms will occasionally hire LSU - Stone Pigman, for example, has a couple of LSU grads mixed in with their dozens of Tulane grads.

Are there any big Loyola firms?

They are going to Texas to make 3 times as much money and where cost of living is better.

Brezeale is not pulling top 10. They’re a very good firm but the starting salary is not as high as Phelps, Kean, Adams & Reese, Jones Walker, and Baker Donelson.


Not true at all from my experience. Multiple law review gunners from LSU went to BSW. I don’t know a single lsu law product who went to Adams and Reese.

AR is probably 90% LSU grads. In BR anyway.

Too many of them are going to Texas. Houston is ground zero for law firms founded by LSU alumni.

Not the definition of prestigious in my book if you can disappear like a fart in the wind like they did.

Will be in interesting to see who is still standing in about 10 years if AI takes hold. Meaning number of lawyers and staff hired as compared to now. Will assistants, paralegals become irrelevant?
