Love Tulane, but is NOLA forever?

I was accepted to Tulane, with a large scholarship offer and am very excited.  However, it's quite likely that, upon graduation, I won't be staying in the region.  What's the reputation outside of LA?  Do people look @ the degree as non-transferrable because of the Civil Law/Common Law problem?  I want to stay in the area if I want, but have the freedom to leave if I want. . . don't know that I'd be taking the Lousisana bar.  Insight?!  Was admitted elsewhere in the northeast and midwest (Pitt, Cincinnati, Temple, American, Loyola Chi, hopeful @ Wash U). . .

Thanks!

I think because Tulane is a private school, it teaches primarily common law, and I think you can choose to study civil law but it's not required like at LSU.  Congrats on the acceptance!

LSU offers both Common and Civil law classes.  Most students pursue civil law.

Tulane offers both Common and Civil law classes.  Most students pursue common law.

It's a non-issue at both.  ~75% of Tulane Law graduates leave the state upon graduation.
