Tulane Law School Tulane Law School, founded in 1847, is the 12th oldest law school in the country and has been accredited by the American Bar Association since May 1925.

The JD student body comprises 750 students from throughout the US, with just 15% from the state of Louisiana. At least 45 states are represented in the student body, as are close to 200 undergraduate schools. An additional 50 students are enrolled in Tulane Law School's LLM and SJD programs. Approximately 40% of the student body is female, and about 20% are students of color. Among the things that set Tulane Law School apart are the breadth and depth of its curriculum. It offers certificates of specialization in: European Legal Studies, International & Comparative Law, Civil Law, Maritime Law, Environmental Law, and Sports Law. It offers six different live-client clinics: criminal defense, civil litigation, juvenile litigation, environmental law, domestic violence, mediation, and legislative and administrative advocacy. Its business and corporate course offerings are strong, as is its intellectual property law curriculum. Tulane Law School was the first in the country to require pro bono legal work as a condition of graduation.

From Weinmann Hall to the world of entertainment, Jessica Alexis is putting her legal education to work!

This 3L spent the summer in New York as a Business & Legal Affairs Intern for Paramount, and continued working with the company remotely this fall. She assisted with transactional and contract work for Paramount’s advertising sales, technology, consumer products, gaming and licensing teams.

At Tulane Law, Jessica took courses in Intellectual Property, which helped prepare her for the role. Her internship brought that classroom knowledge to life. “The firsthand legal experience in the entertainment industry allowed me to learn from so many people,” she said. “It helped me understand what it takes to bring projects to life.”
