While much of any law student's time is (and should be) occupied by attending classes and studying, Tulane law students quickly realize that the Law School is a place where things are always happening, both inside and outside the classroom.  The organizations listed below were started and are maintained by students, under the auspices of the student government, the Student Bar Association.

Environmental Law Society

The Environmental Law Society, founded to enable students to become involved in ongoing environmental issues and programs, has organized and hosted the National Association of Environmental Law Societies Conference, bringing to light Tulane Law School's emergence as a leader in the study of environmental law. Since 1996, the Society has co-hosted, with Tulane's Insitute for Environmental Law & Policy, a state-wide public interest environmental conference which draws lawyers, scientists, community activists, and public citizens to discuss Louisiana's pressing environmental concerns. The Society has presented speakers on toxic torts, wildlife preservation, wetlands, environmental enforcement, national legislative proposals, and international environmental issues. The Society also organizes camping, canoeing, and bicycle trips, as well as other field trips to unique natural areas, initiated and maintains the law school's recycling program, and produces an environmental alumni newsletter.
