Services for Students & Alumni

The CDO provides multiple opportunities for students and alumni to interact with public and private-sector employers, including on and off-campus interviews, online job postings, and networking events. Additionally, counselors provide one-on-one career advising, document review, and interview preparation.

Interview Programs

The CDO organizes multiple interview programs in New Orleans and throughout the U.S., providing Tulane Law students with opportunities to interview with leading private and public employers, including global law firms, governmental agencies, and public interest organizations.  Tulane Law students are also eligible to participate in intellectual property and diversity focused interview programs that take place throughout the country. 

Counseling Appointments and Mock Interviews

Students maximize their opportunities by meeting with a career counselor at the CDO. Counselors assist students in developing individual job search strategies and provide targeted resources. Students may also schedule a practice interview with a Career Counselor or with one of our volunteer legal professionals.
