Tulane is both global and grounded in its ambition. As a global institution, we encourage our students to think broadly about the law and to understand how legal systems operate from an international and comparative perspective. But we are also closely grounded in the community: as our region has become a magnet for entrepreneurs, artists, educators, activists and innovators, our students are inspired by and contribute to our community’s energy.

Tulane, moreover, strives to distinguish itself as a nationally and internationally recognized center of scholarly excellence. We are committed to producing outstanding and innovative scholarship. Our faculty also engage with our community through centers and institutes that providing an environment that advances scholarly discussion and debate.

Finally, Tulane remains at the forefront of engaged learning. We remain steadfast in our commitment to excellent teaching by continually developing programs, initiatives and innovations that enhance our faculty's performance. Tulane also offers multiple avenues to explore public interest law, including a broad variety of clinical programs, externships, and pro bono opportunities.
