I am at the end of my second year of the four-year program. <br /> <br />My wife and I haven't made final decisions yet, but are leaning to moving to another state when I complete school. <br /> <br />The Louisiana bar will not allow me to practice in another state's court, it would make me eligible to work in federal court, regarding bankruptcy, etc. <br /> <br />Should I take the bar in Louisiana before moving to another state or should I focus my time on studying to take the bar of the state we will be moving to? <br /> <br />Answers from attorneys only please. <br /> <br />Thank you. -
