Since 1906, the Law School has been located on Tulane's main campus in the residential, uptown section of New Orleans. It contains approximately 160,000 square feet-twice the size of the previous quarters in Joseph Merrick Jones Hall. For the first time, the clinics are housed under the same roof as the rest of the school. The library and computer facilities are outstanding.
Student organizations have their own offices.
The building was designed to capture as much natural light as possible. The Law Library has a collection of over 501,000 volumes and microform equivalents, making it the 22nd largest law school library in the country. In addition to case reports and statutory compilations from the US and all 50 states, the library features subscriptions to over 3,000 periodicals and one of the largest government documents collections found in law schools. The international collection includes publications from all continents, with an emphasis on materials from Latin America, Western Europe, and the European Community. There are also special collections on French legal history, canon law, Roman law, and admiralty and maritime law.
