There is no better moment than now to be a Tulane Law student. Our longtime signature strengths – international and civil law, maritime law, environmental law, sports law and public interest law – continue to thrive alongside our growing skills-training initiatives. Now more than ever, we are preparing graduates to practice law in the real world.
You’ll find the Tulane Law experience to be powerfully sophisticated in that it’s both global and grounded. It’s global in the sense that it encourages students to think broadly about the law and understand how legal systems operate from a comparative perspective.
But it’s also closely grounded in the community, encouraging students to develop practical skills through engagement with clients and service organizations throughout New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. The region has become a magnet for entrepreneurs, artists, educators, activists and innovators, and our students share in the community’s energy. Our students are involved in a remarkable range of service activities through externships, clinics and pro bono activities, developing valuable practice skills while contributing to the area’s growth.
This makes for a distinctly well-rounded legal education – ambitious and advanced not only in exploring legal theory, but also in cultivating practical skills and service to the community right outside our doors. Through this combination, we provide you with the opportunity to grow personally and professionally, while achieving your best. Nothing less will do.
