AFTER THREE YEARS AT TULANE LAW SCHOOL, Imtiaz Siddiqui (L ’03) missed the East Coast — and a proper slice of New York-style pizza. So, after graduating, he started his legal career in his native New York, hardly expecting that a decade later he’d be back handling legal work for post-Katrina renewal projects and remodeling a house off Freret Street. But he’s among a diverse and growing fellowship: Tulane Law alumni who left New Orleans after graduation, only to be lured back because the city never left them. “I’m witnessing Tulane impact New Orleans in an entirely new way because of its alumni returning,” said Siddiqui, who joined the New Orleans City Attorney’s Office in 2013 and later moved to Coats Rose, where he represents clients in construction law cases. He returned with broad litigation experience, having worked in a small firm and then handled
