Tulane Corporate Law Institute
The Tulane Corporate Law Institute is an annual two-day M&A and corporate law conference that takes place in downtown New Orleans every spring. It attracts the most high-profile lawyers and bankers from around the country, as well as judges, journalists, and others who follow the dealmaking world.[1] The event typically takes place in late March or early April, at a prominent Canal Street hotel.
History
In the late 1980s, Delaware Supreme Court Justice Andrew G.T. Moore and a group of prominent New Orleans corporate practitioners were among those who undertook an aggressive goal: to establish a new annual platform for a gathering of the nation's leading corporate jurists and practitioners.[2] More than 20 years later, the Tulane Corporate Law Institute continues to play a critical role as the meeting place for national leaders in the fields of law and business.[3]

Student-Practitioner Interaction
While the Tulane Corporate Law Institute is not a student function, the Tulane Law School's career development office typically organizes informational interviews among leading practitioners and select groups of Tulane law and JD/MBA students. In the past, students have met directly with a variety of business and governmental leaders, including partners of big New York City and Los Angeles law firms, in-house attorneys at major investment banks and hedge funds throughout the country, and the commissioner of the SEC.
