Two Tulane students since 1981 have clerked on the United States Supreme Court. For those graduating students who opted to do judicial clerkships. These prestigious assignments typically lead to responsible, high-paying jobs with major law firms. Most firms start former judicial clerks at salaries equal to second-year associates and give them one year credit toward partnership. The office publishes Job Watch, a weekly newsletter listing local and national job opportunities for students.
Assistance is also available for alumni desiring to move laterally within the legal community.
Counseling services and resources continue to be available to graduates, and the Alumni Job Bulletin, a semi-monthly publication for graduates, is also available. Tulane attracts as many as 135 employers in the fall and spring to interview students for summer clerk and permanent positions. Over 50 percent of the employers interviewing at the Law School are from outside Louisiana. In 1998 and 1999, interviewers came from Alabama, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Washington, Washington, DC, and, of course, Louisiana. Employers from these and nearly every other state in the country list positions or request resumes from Tulane students throughout the year.
