Tulane University School of Law

Tulane, like other US law schools, offers programs that emphasize the traditional bread-and-butter areas of corporate and commercial law, family law, wills and trusts, real estate, taxation, public law, and litigation. At the same time, Tulane offers a curriculum that is unique and distinctive, particularly in the areas of civil law, European legal studies, comparative and international law, admiralty and maritime law, environmental law, and intellectual property.
Tulane Law School offers a three-year, full-time program leading to the Juris Doctor (JD) degree. Students take 29 credits of required courses during the first year of the JD program. During the second and third years of the JD program, students take one 3-credit required course entitled Legal Profession, and design their own courses of study by selecting electives for the remaining 56 credit hours required for the degree.
Tulane also offers six different LLM programs, each requiring completion of 24 credits over the course of one academic year.
A program leading to the Doctor of Juridical Science (SJD) is offered to individuals who have completed an LLM program with an outstanding record.
