'''Tulane University Law School''' is the [[:Category:Law Schools|law school]] of Tulane University. It is located on Tulane's Uptown campus in New Orleans, Louisiana. Established in 1847, it is the 12th oldest law school in the United States.<ref>http://www.law.tulane.edu/tlsabout/index.aspx</ref> The law school curriculum offers a complete selection of common law and federal subjects. In addition, Tulane offers electives in the civil law, giving students the opportunity to pursue comparative education of the world's two major legal systems (Louisiana is the only U.S. state to have a civil law, rather than common law, system). Students are permitted to survey a broad range of subject areas or to concentrate in one or more. Specifically, Tulane Law School's [[environmental law]] and [[sports law]] programs are considered among the strongest nationwide, and its [[Admiralty law|maritime law]] program is among the best regarded in the world.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.law.tulane.edu/tlsAcademicPrograms/index.aspx?id=1710| title=Tulane Law School Program Academic Description|year=2007|publisher= Tulane}}</ref> For more than 20 years, the school has hosted the [[Tulane Corporate Law Institute]], a preeminent [[mergers and acquisitions]] (M&A) and [[corporate law]] forum.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.law.tulane.edu/uploadedFiles/Life_After_Law_School/CLE/PDFs_for_Events_and_Conferences/CLI-BROCHURE-WEB.pdf | title=20th Annual Tulane Corporate Law Institute Brochure|year=2008|publisher= Tulane|format=PDF}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/04/03/from-tulane-top-deal-makers-on-ma/| title=From Tulane, Top Deal Makers on M&A|publisher= New York Times | date=2008-04-03 | accessdate=2010-05-26}}</ref> == Campus == [[File:Weinmann Hall.JPG|right|thumb|275px|John Giffen Weinmann Hall, [[Tulane University]] Law School's main building.]] The law school's {{convert|160000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} building, '''John Giffen Weinmann Hall''', was completed in 1995. Designed to integrate classrooms, a student lounge, a computer lab, faculty offices, and a [[law library]] that contains both national and international collections, the building is centrally located on Tulane’s [[Uptown New Orleans|Uptown]] campus. The law school has been on the Uptown campus since 1906, and has been housed in several buildings since then, until the completion of Weinmann Hall. The law school was located in Jones Hall from 1969 until 1995, where scenes for ''[[The Pelican Brief (film)|The Pelican Brief]]'' were filmed. Next to Weinmann Hall on the 6200 block of Freret Street is the '''Law Annex''', a light gray [[cobblestone]] building that houses the Career Development Office (CDO). The Law Annex was a faculty residence before being converted for its current use.<ref>http://tulane.edu/tulane/about/maps/law-annex.cfm</ref> Nearby is the Howard-Tilton Memorial Library, Tulane's main library; the Lavin-Bernick Center, which houses university dining facilities and the university bookstore; the Reily Student Recreation Center (a gym with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and basketball, squash, and tennis courts); the [[Freeman School of Business]]; the Newcomb Art Gallery; and various other buildings. The Uptown campus is marked by many large [[live oak]] trees and historically significant buildings. [[Architectural style]]s include [[Richardsonian Romanesque]], [[Elizabethan architecture|Elizabethan]], [[Renaissance architecture|Renaissance]], [[Brutalist]], and [[Modern architecture]]. The front-of-campus buildings use white [[Indiana Limestone]] or orange brick for exteriors, while the middle-of-campus buildings are mostly adorned in red St. Joe brick. In all, Tulane's Uptown campus occupies more than 110 [[acre]]s (0.4 km²), facing [[St. Charles Avenue]] directly opposite [[Audubon Park, New Orleans|Audubon Park]], which features the [[Audubon Zoo]], and a {{convert|1.8|mi|km|adj=on}} pedestrian trail around a public golf course. The campus is also a short bicycle ride from the [[Mississippi River]] and a 25+ mile bicycling/jogging trail that runs along it. The [[Streetcars in New Orleans|St. Charles Avenue Streetcar Line]] makes the campus accessible via public transit. [[Loyola University New Orleans|Loyola University]] is directly adjacent to Tulane, on the downriver side. ===Planned improvements=== In late November 2008, the university announced a donor-funded project to eliminate the street ([[McAlister Drive, New Orleans|McAlister Drive]]) between the law school and the cafeteria/bookstore, to transform the center of campus "into a vibrant, pedestrian environment."<ref name="media.www.thehullabaloo.com">{{cite web |url=http://media.www.thehullabaloo.com/media/storage/paper958/news/2008/11/21/News/Mcallister.Place.To.Be.Car.Free-3557473.shtml |title=McAllister Place to be Car Free |publisher=Tulane Hullabaloo |date=2008-11-25 }}</ref> The street has been replaced with a landscaped pedestrian walkway .<ref name="media.www.thehullabaloo.com"/> The project was completed in January 2010.<ref name="media.www.thehullabaloo.com"/> Coincidentally, in late November 2008 the City of New Orleans announced plans to add bicycle lanes to the St. Charles Avenue corridor that runs in front of [[Gibson Hall]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nola.com/timespic/stories/index.ssf?/base/living-2/1227334883282870.xml&coll=1 |title=Repaved Streets Will Have Lanes for Bicycling |publisher=The Times-Picayune |date=2008-11-22 }}</ref> That work started in August 2009 and should be completed in 2010. == Academic program== [[File:TulaneU4Nov08JonesHall.jpg|right|thumb|275px|Jones Hall, where the law school was located from 1969 until 1995 and where scenes for ''[[The Pelican Brief (film)|The Pelican Brief]]'' were filmed.]] The 2012 ''[[U.S. News & World Report]]'' [[Law school rankings in the United States|law-school rankings]] placed Tulane Law as 47th in the nation overall and 8th in [[environmental law]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/law-rankings| title=Best Law Schools|year=2012|publisher= usnews.com| accessdate=2011-03-15}}</ref> In terms of academic reputation, the 2012 U.S. News rankings put Tulane at 38th.<ref>http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/2011/03/2012-us-news.html</ref> "The Law School 100" ranks Tulane as 34th, relying on a qualitative (rather than quantitative) assessment.<ref>http://www.lawschool100.com/</ref> The [[Law_school_rankings#Hylton_Rankings|Hylton law-school rankings]], conducted in 2006, put Tulane at 39th.<ref>http://www.elsblog.org/the_empirical_legal_studi/files/the_us_news_and_world_report_rankings_without_the_clutter.pdf</ref> The 2010 [[Law_school_rankings_in_the_United_States#Leiter_rankings|Leiter law-school rankings]] put Tulane at 38th, based on student quality, using LSAT and GPA data.<ref>http://www.leiterrankings.com/new/2010_top40lawschools.shtml</ref> The global [[financial crisis of 2007-2009]] reportedly led to an increase in student selectivity for the class of 2012, as applications to law schools across the nation were estimated to have risen by 5% between 2008 and 2009, including a 15% increase at Tulane Law alone.<ref>http://thehullabaloo.com/?p=5494&cpage=1</ref> To complete the [[Juris Doctor]] (J.D.) [[Academic degree|degree]] program, a student must finish six semesters in residence, 88 credit hours, an upper-level writing requirement, and a 30-hour community-service obligation. The first-year curriculum comprises eight required courses. The first-year legal-research-and-writing program is taught by instructors with significant experience as lawyers and writers, each assisted by senior fellows. After the first year, all courses are electives, except for a required legal-profession course. All first-year and many upper-class courses are taught in multiple sections to allow for smaller classes. The upper-class curriculum includes introductory as well as advanced courses in a broad range of subject areas, including [[international law|international]] and [[comparative law]], [[business law]], corporate law, environmental law, maritime law, [[criminal law]], [[intellectual property]], [[taxation]], [[litigation]], and [[civil procedure]], among others. Tulane Law offers six optional [[Academic major|concentration programs]] for J.D. students who wish to receive one certificate of completion in an area. The six are [[Law of the European Union|European legal studies]], environmental law, international and comparative law, maritime law, sports law, or civil law. Tulane’s [http://www.law.tulane.edu/tlscenters/eason/ Eason Weinmann Center for Comparative Law], its [http://www2.law.tulane.edu/tuexp/centers/marcenter/default.html Maritime Law Center], and its [http://www.law.tulane.edu/enlaw/ Institute on Water Policy & Law], promote scholarship in comparative, maritime, and environmental law. Tulane conducts an annual summer school in New Orleans and offers summer-study programs abroad. Tulane also offers semester-long exchange programs with select law schools in a number of countries throughout the world. In addition to the J.D., the school offers two graduate degrees in law: The [[Master of Laws]] (LL.M.) the [[Doctor of Laws]] (S.J.D.) program. The five specialized LL.M. programs are in: maritime law, energy and environmental law, American business law, American law, and international and comparative law.<ref name="ReferenceB">http://www.law.tulane.edu/tlsadmissions/index.aspx?id=196</ref> LL.M. students may also pursue a general LL.M., which does not concentrate in any one area.<ref name="ReferenceB"/> The law school offers six [[legal clinic|live-client clinical programs]], in the areas of: [[civil litigation]], [[criminal defense]], juvenile litigation, legislative and administrative advocacy, [[domestic violence]] (the [[Tulane Law School Domestic Violence Clinic]]), and [[environmental law]] (the [[Tulane Environmental Law Clinic]]). In addition, there is a trial-advocacy program, and third-year students may engage in [[externship]]s with federal and state judges, with a local [[death-penalty]] project, or with certain administrative agencies. The judicial externships are possible because of Tulane's close proximity to the [[U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals]], the [[U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana]], and the [[Louisiana Supreme Court]], all of which are in New Orleans. The school was the first in the country to institute a [[pro bono]] program requiring that each student complete legally related community service prior to graduation.<ref>http://www.law.tulane.edu/tlsStudentLife/index.aspx?id=728</ref> Every summer, [[BarBri]], a national [[bar exam]]-preparation company, offers [[New York State Bar Association|New York Bar Exam]] and [[Louisiana Bar Exam]] preparation courses at the Tulane Law School. Additionally, a [[State_Bar_of_California#The_California_Bar_Examination|California Bar Exam]] preparation course is offered when demand warrants it, as it did in 2010. ===Strategic plan=== In May 2007, Tulane Law announced a [http://www.law.tulane.edu/uploadedFiles/Strategic%20Plan%20May%202007.pdf Strategic Plan] to improve its academic mission.<ref name="ReferenceA">http://www.law.tulane.edu/uploadedFiles/Strategic%20Plan%20May%202007.pdf</ref> Most notably, the school decided to increase student selectivity by gradually reducing the incoming JD class size from a historical average of 350 students per year to a target of 250 students per year, over a period of several years.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> ===Summer study abroad=== Tulane Law School was one of the first five schools in the United States to offer a foreign summer law program.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.law.tulane.edu/tlsabroad/index.aspx?id=7636&ekmensel=c580fa7b_258_0_7636_6 |title=Tulane University Law School Summer Abroad |publisher=Tulane University Law School website |date=2008-11-30 }}</ref> As of 2008, over 4,000 law students from approximately 140 U.S. law schools attended Tulane Law's summer abroad programs, taught by faculty from Tulane, other U.S. law schools, and universities abroad.<ref name="law.tulane.edu">{{cite web |url=http://www.law.tulane.edu/abroad/index.aspx?ekmensel=c580fa7b_168_0_4386_1 |title=Tulane University Law School Summer Abroad |publisher=Tulane University Law School website |date=4/5/08 }}</ref> Through the years, prominent scholars and [[United States federal judge|federal judges]] have highlighted Tulane's summer faculty, including [[Supreme Court of the United States|Supreme Court]] justices [[Harry Blackmun]], [[Stephen Breyer]], [[Ruth Bader Ginsburg]], [[Antonin Scalia]], and [[William Rehnquist]].<ref name="law.tulane.edu"/> In the past, the law school's summer programs have taken place in [[Amsterdam]] in the [[Netherlands]]; [[Berlin]] in [[Germany]]; [[Cambridge]] and [[London]] in [[England]]; [[Paris]] and [[Grenoble]] in [[France]]; [[Rhodes]] and [[Spetses]] in [[Greece]]; and [[Siena]] in [[Italy]]. ===JD/MBA program=== [[File:Miss.River.View.From.Plant.Roof.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Photo taken on 2009 New Orleans port tour for Tulane JD/MBA students.]] Tulane benefits from having a top law school and a top business school located immediately next to one another, both of which consistently rank among the top 50 in the nation, according to the ''[[U.S. News & World Report]]'' and the [[Financial Times]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://media.ft.com/cms/353a8bdc-c804-11dc-94a6-0000779fd2ac.pdf| title= Financial Times 2008 MBA ranking|year=2008|publisher= Financial Times| accessdate=2008|format=PDF}}</ref> (the [[Finance]] department in particular has been ranked among the top 10 in the world on several occasions<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.freeman.tulane.edu/ranks.htm| title= Freeman School @ Tulane - Rankings|year=2005|publisher= freeman.tulane.edu| accessdate=2007-06-07 |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20070220043755/http://www.freeman.tulane.edu/ranks.htm |archivedate = 2007-02-20}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://tulane.edu/news/releases/012808.cfm| title= Financial Times Names Tulane University Among World's Top 10 Schools for Finance - Rankings|year=2008|publisher= freeman.tulane.edu| accessdate=2008-04-19}}</ref>).
