A friend of mine went to Tulane law school, and he told me that the university has two different requirements for students who want to practice law in Louisiana and who want to work elsewhere in the USA.

The first difference that comes to my mind is they don’t use precedents like other states. I’m a writer, not a lawyer but part of my book is about a string of legal cases that destroy democracy (it’s a satire and a lot more complicated but that’s basically it) and because I’m not a lawyer (although I had to learn as much as I could) and these would be landmark cases which shouldn’t go through because if past similar cases, I did not want any precedents. Louisiana doesn’t do that so I could use that to both work in my favor as advancing a satire but also cover for my lack of detailed legal precedents.
