The resources of the Career Development Office at Tulane Law School are fully available to students enrolled in the graduate programs, as well as to alumni of our graduate programs. The Career Development Office staff becomes acquainted early with each new class of graduate students by participating in the summer orientation program. Graduate students have an assigned career counselor with experience in both domestic and international job searches and career opportunities.
Professional Development
Graduate students are welcome to attend all career development workshops and presentations and to use all of the facilities of the Career Development Office [link] for their job searches. Graduate students are especially encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity for extensive individual counseling by a career services professional, including mock interviews, résumé and cover letter review, and assistance with job searches.
Tulane law students may attend any Tulane Continuing Legal Education [link] program free of charge. These programs permit students to be exposed to practical aspects of an area of law and provide the invaluable opportunity for contact with practicing attorneys. Topics for these annual seminars include admiralty and maritime law, corporate law, estate planning, labor, litigation, sports law, and tax.
Each year in January, Tulane Law School is among a select group of US law schools invited to participate in the International Student Interview Program (ISIP) organized by New York University Law School and conducted in New York City [link]. Over 125 law firms and other employers gather to interview international LLM students interested in working in the United States and in their home countries.
Networking
Over 2000 alumni of Tulane’s various graduate programs in law live throughout the world. Alumni groups get together informally in many European, Asian, and Latin American cities. In cooperation with our Office of Alumni Affairs and Office of Continuing Legal Education, alumni may organize multi-day meetings, alumni events, and continuing education programs in locations throughout the world. Many of our alumni stay in touch with Tulane and volunteer to provide assistance with networking opportunities for our students and new graduates. In addition, we have more than 13,000 alumni here in the United States, many of whom are well-positioned within large multi-national American firms that hire our students.
