September 2009

On behalf of the Search Committee I invite you to explore the leadership dimensions of the position as Tulane Law School’s next Dean.

From its founding in1847, Tulane has offered its faculty and students the opportunity to research and study both of the world's great legal systems–the common law system upon which English and US law is based, and the civil law system governing most of the rest of the world. Located in the culturally, ethnically and visually rich environment of New Orleans, the law school community learns and leads with active involvement in today’s challenging legal issues of local, national, and global concern.

We hope that you will find these pages informative and the leadership opportunity attractive.  If you have any questions, require additional information or would like to make suggestions or nominations, please contact us through our dedicated e-mail address for the search: tulane-lawdean@RussellReynolds.com.

We thank you for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you.
