Tulane provides multiple channels for its students and alumni to interact with public and private-sector employers, including on- and off-campus interviews, on-line job postings, networking events, and programming opportunities.
Tulane’s career development staff members serve as both generalists and specialists in practice areas and settings, covering the wide range of students’ professional interests. Internally, career counselors provide individual counseling to help students tackle the job search. The Career Development Office holds programs on legal positions in specific practice areas, from corporate to environmental law, and specific practice settings, from the private sector to government work. The counselors also conduct workshops on job search strategies, including resumes and cover letters, interviewing skills and networking techniques.
Externally, career development staffers engage in local and national outreach to identify job opportunities and help you establish professional connections. They participate in specialty practice and minority job fairs, post up-to-date employment listings and hold on- and off-campus job interview programs. In addition, the Career Development Office arranges for alumni and practitioners to discuss their practice areas and possible job options with students.
2025 Employment Offer Guidance
Tulane’s CDO strives to provide our students with a fair and reasonable timeframe to make informed employment decisions. In order to preserve this privilege as well as to ensure employers are able to recruit successfully and make competitive hiring decisions, we have adopted the following guidelines which students and employers are expected to follow during summer recruitment:
Students: Tulane Law students may hold no more than three job offers at once.
Employers: Employers are asked to extend offers in accordance with the following guidelines based on the timing of interviews in their respective regional markets:
Nola Employers
· Offers extended by local firms should remain open until the later of fourteen days after the offer is extended OR August 26th (i.e., two weeks after our Nola Early Interview Program).
Employers outside of NOLA, TX and NY/NE markets
· Offers extended by large firms in other markets should remain open until the later of fourteen days after the offer is extended OR August 7th. If possible, an extension should be granted if a student accompanies their request with an affirmation that they are seriously considering the opportunity.
TX Employers
· Offers extended by large firms in TX should remain open until the later of fourteen days after the offer is extended OR August 7th (i.e., two weeks after our TX Interview Program). If possible, an extension should be granted if a student accompanies their request with an affirmation that they are seriously considering the opportunity.
NY/NE Employers
· Offers extended by large firms in NY and the Northeast should remain open until the later of fourteen days after the offer is extended OR June 30th. If possible, an extension should be granted if a student accompanies their request with an affirmation that they are seriously considering the opportunity.
