“GOOD AMERICANS, WHEN THEY DIE, GO TO PARIS.” - Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde may be right, but the time to experience Paris is
sooner rather than later. Come join us next summer for classes taught by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the
United States Supreme Court and a faculty of internationally renowned experts
on French and European law.
You will be joining the prestigious Tulane Institute in Paris and
its host, Paris-Dauphine University which is located in one of the most
beautiful parts of Paris. Our Institute is the oldest, continuously running American
program in France. Cultivated people the world over have long regarded Paris as
not only the world’s most beautiful city, but also the cultural and
intellectual heart of Europe. Paris is
also the spiritual home of the civil law. All students in the program who
successfully complete a three-credit curriculum will receive the Institute's
Diploma.
We anticipate a high number of students will wish to study with
Justice Ginsburg, so we encourage you to reserve a seat as soon as possible.
Tulane University Law School, with its roots deep in the
Napoleonic law, is particularly at home in the capital of France. In the United
States, Tulane has been precursor and pioneer in the field of comparative law:
it teaches a complete civil law curriculum, conducts regular faculty exchanges with
great law faculties of Europe, and brings European students each year to its
graduate program in New Orleans. Our program in Paris not only follows that
tradition, but has found a new vocation: to train U.S. students and lawyers to
understand the new European Union. Our Paris Institute’s courses in
international and comparative studies are designed to ready students for
transnational practice in the United States, Europe or other parts of the
world. The Institute is hosted by Paris-Dauphine University, one of the great
universities of Europe. In addition to the large contingent of U.S. law
students from around the States, students from other European universities are
also admitted. Our program takes advantage of the educational and cultural
riches of Paris by including visits to the French Supreme Court, the National
Assembly and world-famous museums. For U.S. students who can speak functional
or fluent French, we offer a number of
internship opportunities with Paris law firms.
