Dear Students:

The ONEAPP is now open through March 15, 2021 for experiential learning programs requiring the submission of an application prior to enrollment. ONEAPP provides students the ability to rank their preferences among various academic-year experiential opportunities in one application. These opportunities include clinics (remaining slots), externships, and IPLabs, all of which count toward Tulane’s 6-credit experiential requirement and the New York bar experiential requirement.

I will have office hours via Zoom every Monday from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and will be happy to discuss experiential course selection, ranking of options, the ONEAPP form, and other questions you may have.   https://tulane.zoom.us/j/93054021977?pwd=SUVndmM4Znk0Y2VVWlRHdXl5S0FRUT09

We are planning an information fair on March 8, 2021 at 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. on zoom. The experiential page of the Intranet has all zoom links, an FAQ, and other relevant information. No applications will be processed before the deadline, so feel free to study your options before submitting.

If you previously applied to a clinic for an early decision and have accepted a slot, you should not apply for a clinic or externship through ONEAPP. You may, however, apply for a spot in the IPLab.

The American Kennel Club^® (AKC) is pleased to announce the fourth annual Companion Animal Law Writing Contest! The contest begins on August 10th and is opens to all students currently enrolled at an ABA-accredited law school.

The contest will offer a first-place prize of $2500 and a second-place prize of $500.

Students are asked to choose between two topics: forfeiture of an animal and the legal treatment of animals as property. This year’s topics offer students the unique opportunity to discuss legal perspectives on issues currently in the news and at the forefront of animal law. 

Entries will be judged by legal and public policy professionals with experience in laws impacting companion animals.

Contestants can enter now through March 31, 2021, at 6:00 p.m. EST. To learn more about the contest, including official rules and policies, please click here.

The exam numbers (blind grading IDs) for the Spring 2021 semester have been assigned.  Students will use this one exam number assigned to them for all examinations taken or assignments done anonymously during the spring term.  This is different than any exam number used during a previous semester.

To access your exam number log on to GIBSON online and select the Blind Grading ID option under the Law School Services heading. Then choose Spring 2021 when prompted for the term.

Information regarding exams procedures and instructions will be posted in April in advance of the exam period.
