Holy shit, killing potential witnesses takes it from scam to Sopranos level.

Interestingly, Louisiana is very different from the rest of the US. It is part of the reason why it is so much more corrupt. Louisiana, as a former French colony, has the Napoleonic code as its basis of law, not English common law as you find in all the other 49 states.
If you pass the bar in the Louisiana, you cannot practice law anywhere else. Equally, if you pass the bar in any other state you are able to practice law in any of the other 48 states, except for Louisiana.
An awkward anomaly, a bit like the City of London: a strange fiefdom unto itself.
