La Alianza has jointly sponsored with BLSA a symposium on Minorities and the Environment. In 1987, the Asian Law Student Organization was founded. New Orleans is a nurturing location for minority students. New Orleans is also, like many major urban centers in the United States, a place where minorities have become voting majorities. The majority of the city's population consists of minorities.
Minorities are active participants in the political and professional life of the city.
Minority alumni of Tulane Law School occupy prominent positions as government officials, as associates and partners in law firms, and as judges. They often serve as mentors to minority law students enrolled at Tulane.
