Law Library - Law School alumni are welcome to use the print resources of the Law Library. In order to receive library privileges (excluding use of the computer lab facilities and interlibrary loan services), you must complete a patron registration form (available at the Library’s circulation desk) and receive an updated Tulane ID that identifies your alumni status. Acquiring this card will ensure future access to the building and library.

Christina Roux in the Academic Services Office can help complete this kind of form. Please mail it to her at Tulane Law School, 6329 Freret St., Suite 204, New Orleans, LA 70118. If you have specific questions, you can reach Ms. Roux at 504.865.5935 or carbour@tulane.edu.
