Tulane Law Post-Hurricane Blog

University Of California Davis has taken 13 or so Tulane/Loyola law
students displaced by Katrina. I am looking to find some who are moving
here to Davis. I'm hoping to provide some study materials, backpack,
extra clothes, some extras etc. I can pick you guys up at the airport. I
drive to campus every day and can offer some rides. I own a dressage
horse you can borrow if you miss yours. Ideally I'd find a girl who is
about my same size (12-14 pant, 10- 10 1/2 shoe) who may call me up and
say "Hey Leslie, I need a date dress, and a ride".

Hi,

If anyone has information on Professors Bonfield and
Samuel, please drop me a note - I just want to make
sure they are ok: indira_ran@yahoo.com

Also, I want to offer my assistance to any students
interested in using their law degrees for alternative
careers - specifically, with creating or honing your
resume. I know many of you are looking for jobs.
Dealing with resumes is difficult enough in a normal
situation and I'm hoping my help will relieve some of
that stress. Since I graduated, I've worked for
Gannett and Yahoo! - on editorial, creative, and
business development sides. You can email me directly
at: indira_ran@yahoo.com at any time.

Thinking of all of you.

I am a Tulane undergraduate alumni ('94) living about 45 minutes north of Houston. I understand Loyola's law school has established a temporary satellite at the University of Houston's Law Center, and Tulane law students are welcomed. My wife and I have an unoccupied second floor with a fully furnished bedroom and living area. Although a bit of a long commute to U of H, our home might serve you well until you can get settled into the Houston area. Also, should you be interested in criminal law, I am a prosecutor, and you would be welcome to serve as a part-time intern in our office.

I am a Tulane law grad ('97) and my wife is a Georgetown graduate
student living here in DC. Our home is small, but we could set up a
law student for a semester with their own bedroom, including an
inflatable bed, some furniture, their own bathroom, and internet
access. Provided, and this is very important, that said student likes,
and I mean really likes, dogs. More specifically, Welsh terriers. Our
Welsh terrier is quite friendly, but has, on occasion, gotten
aggressive around those who don't understand him. He is not at all like
a lab. So if you or someone you know understands terriers, we would be
happy to take you, or your friend who understands terriers, in.

Please contact us directly at (202)387-7941 if you are interested.

The John Marshall Law School will admit JD 1L, 2L, 3L and LL.M. students from Tulane University and Loyola University New Orleans for the fall and/or spring semesters if needed.

Our goal is to help Tulane and Loyola N.O. and its students. If the student pays tuition at either school, John Marshall will not charge tuition to any such Loyola N.O. or Tulane student it admits. We are also able to help students find housing accommodations while in Chicago.

For admission information contacts: Associate Dean for Admissions and Student Affairs, William B. Powers, 312-987-1435, 6powers@jmls.edu .

Stetson University College of Law & Georgia State University College of Law are offering a web-based, asynchronous course in INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW for 2L and 3L Loyola-New Orleans and Tulane Law School students. This two (2) credit course will not commence until October 1st, and will last 6 to 8 weeks for the course and an additional 2 weeks for the exam period. There will be no charge to enroll in this class if you have paid tuition at another institution (either your home institution or the institution at which you are visiting). This distance-learning course will be open to students attending other schools as visitors. It is necessary, however, that you have access to DSL or fast-access cable to take this class. To enroll, contact Associate Dean Theresa Radwan at radwan@law.stetson.edu. For specific questions about the course, please contact Professor Ellen S. Podgor at epodgor@law.stetson.edu.

Vanderbilt Law School is accepting up to 25 2L and 3L students from Tulane and Loyola. Tuition for these students will be waived, provided that the students have paid tuition to their home schools. Students admitted as visitors will be charged a $100 administrative fee.

Students must begin regular class attendance by September 7. As some classes will be in their fourth week of the semester at that point, students with a cumulative gpa of 3.0 will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Interested students should contact Vanderbilt's admissions office at (615)322-6452 or admissions@law.vanderbilt.edu.

Here are more details from the University of Oregon School of Law, Eugene, Oregon.

Oregon is eager to accommodate Tulane or Loyola students. Here are the specifics:

1. University of Oregon School of Law, Eugene, Oregon. We are in a small, friendly city that is less than two hours from Portland. Many people bicycle to school on Eugene's plentiful bike paths or walk to school. The law school works actively to build communities of common interests among students, and professors as well. Our law students find time not only for intensive study, but to get out of town to relax as well.

http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/siuslaw/recreation/tripplanning/capeperpetua/cape.jpg

We offer a full-time, comprehensive program that is particularly rich in areas such as environmental and natural resources law (including ocean and coastal law); appropriate dispute resolution; business law and entrepreneurship; family law, child advocacy and domestic violence; and public interest/public service.

For more information on our assistance to New Orleans students, see http://www.law.uoregon.edu/news/article.php?show=143 or contact our Assistant Dean directly (see below).

2. We will enroll students (as visitors) for Fall semester and, if their home schools have not reopened by January, for the full year. We will enroll 1Ls, 2Ls, and 3Ls. As is true for all law schools accepting visitors, home schools may use discretion on which credits to accept, of course.

3. We will accept 10 students.

4. Housing: We have already arranged housing for up to 10 students for the semester or, if needed, the entire year.

5. Classes. Students must begin attending classes as soon as possible. Our semester began on August 18, which means that 2-1/2 weeks of our 14-week semester have taken place. We will work with displaced students through where appropriate, special classes, individual meetings, and tutoring sessions. Our University President (a law professor) has joined in the offer to provide tutoring services.

6. Tuition: Oregon will not charge Tulane or Loyola students any tuition and fees, provided they pay tuition to their home school. If they have not paid that, they will be charged at UO rates, which are reasonable compared to many schools.

7. Contact person: Assistant Dean Liane Richardon lrichard@law.uoregon.edu, telephone during week: 541-346-3896.

Dean Brian Bromberger of Loyola - New Orleans Law School has just told me that the satellite program that Loyola will be running at the University of Houston starting in October will be open to Tulane students as well, so long as they have paid Tulane tuition.

The program will run mostly on weekends, and will present a full first-year curriculum and significant upper-level offerings.

It is more fully described on the Loyola Post-Hurricane Blog.

Hi Fellow Law Students,
I'm a 2L at UDSL (University of Dayton School of Law, Ohio). They announced that they are accepting visiting
students for the Fall and Spring and I wanted to offer some additional assistance.
My mom and I live less than 10 minutes away from campus. I drive in each day. We can house 1 law student in our home, I can provide transportation to and from school. I also have a number of study aids available.
The student would have their own room and we have wireless internet in the house, so it will be easy for access email, westlaw, lexis, and anything else you need.
We can also help with anyone who has lost clothing or other items.
It's not a big house and we are not a rich family, but we'd love to do whatever we can.
We are also able to pick students up at the airport or if needed we can drive to LA, MS, TX or whereever to pick up students who wish to come to UDSL for a semester or two.
Just let me know.
Best of luck to everyone. All of our thoughts, wishes, and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Marianne E. Graham,
UDSL Class of 2007

A student sends along the following pointed question(s) about tuition:

"Please lay out in black and white the actual tuition
obligations of all displaced students.

"I have heard rumors that students will still be
paying Loyola prices despite the fact we are attending
different universities. While this may work for
students attending universities that are more
expensive than Loyola, it is devastating to students
who have signed up for schools that said their tuition
was waived. Moreover, students like myself, who are
attending universities that told us that their tuition
would be waived simply so that they can recoup from
their present economic hardships, are aghast at these
recent developments.

"For instance, LSU is drastically cheaper than Loyola,
yet displaced students attending LSU must now pay
Loyola prices. While I do not speak for all, I know
that my bank account is empty and my house is
destroyed. My bank account was stretched thin
pre-hurricane, but now is shattered. My one silver
lining was that LSU told me that tuition was waived.

"Yet, today I first learned that I would be paying
Loyola prices. This is a terrible development, and I
question whether or not I now can attend law school,
despite the fact that I am a 3L.

"Loyola needs to offer a way for students to attend
law school instead of trying to pillage their future
alumni. They need to give free tuition. FREE!
Instead, Loyola's modus operandi is hurting it's
poorer students. Ultimately, this process will prove
to be penny wise, pound foolish.

"I hope that other Loyola Law Students with similar
thoughts will e-mail this blog. If Loyola wants a
future alumni from their present classes and wants
participation in their Houston program, perhaps Loyola
should have the foresight to implement an economic
plan that does not ignore the fact that Hurricane
Katrina ruined it's students. Give free tuition so
that students can attend.

"Lastly, thanks to Eric Muller for coordinating and
implementing a blog."

I had a question about what those of us in program limbo should do. I am a dual-programmer and I was enrolled for the MBA program for this fall. I can't go elsewhere for that program, and they're starting us back up in the spring as if it were a first, fall, semester. So I was thinking of taking law classes this fall at some other university... here's the question: does being enrolled in 16 units at the business school count so that I can get reciprocity from another university for law classes? How does it work, being enrolled in Tulane B-school and taking law classes somewhere else? Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Cate Boone

On Friday, I posted a note offering to hire a law student at my law firm
in Honolulu. I did not expect to receive many responses to this
inquiry, but, so far, five students have contacted me. At present, I
have made an offer to hire a Tulane 1L. Based on the interest regarding
this posting, I contacted the Hawaii State Bar Association and the local
Trial Lawyers Association. A number of law firms have indicated a
willingness to hire law students as law clerks for a semester or longer.
I am also working with the same groups to secure low cost housing.

From my discussions with some of the interested students, it appears
that the 1Ls are the ones having the most difficult time finding
schools/law firms willing to take them on. I have made it clear to the
Hawaii lawyers of this need, and there are firms definitely willing to
consider 1Ls.

I have also inquired at the William S. Richardson School of Law at the
University of Hawaii regarding its policy on visiting students. At
present, the school is willing to take on one or two 2Ls/3Ls who have no
Hawaii ties, but it is unable to offer free tuition to non-residents.
The law school, however, is willing to try and work things out later on
with Tulane and Loyola. The law school's policy on 1Ls is a bit
unclear. It appears that they are willing to talk to 1Ls, but no policy
has been formally adopted.

If anybody is interested in a law clerk position in Honolulu, please
contact me at winer@pacificlaw.com or by phone at (808) 227-5932 (cell)
or (808) 254-5855 (work).

Georgia State University College of Law will accept second and third-year law students from Tulane and Loyola on a visiting basis for the fall term. Eligible students must be in good standing and enrolled for the fall semester at their home institutions. Visiting students will only be required to pay a $100 fee to enroll and will be admitted on a space-available basis.

All interested students must schedule an appointment at the Georgia State College of Law immediately in order to be eligible to attend classes starting next week, which will be the third week of class. Appointments should be scheduled by Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2005.

Call Kenee Stephens at 404.651.2044 to set up appointments. In case this voicemail box is full, please e-mail associate deans Anne Emanuel and Roy Sobelson at aemanuel@gsu.edu and rsobelson@gsu.edu.

The College of Law will also work to establish a network of students, alumni, faculty and staff who can assist these students during this transition.

Our hearts go out to these university families and we join with the many law schools throughout the country in extending whatever assistance we can during such difficult times.

I am an alumnus of Lewis and Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon. I live within a couple of miles of the campus. I have recently posted the following notice on various websites matching housing with homeless Katrina victims:

We have a large home minutes from the Portland city center on a bus line. We presently have an unoccupied guest room with a queen bed. You could walk in the door and move in right now. We also have a large study that could be converted to a bedroom almost instantly. We'd just have to move a bed in there. Our son will be going off to college in a few weeks so there's another queen bedroom. We have a 19-year-old who lives at home and attends college locally and a teen daughter in high school. There's a basement, lots of floor space, a huge covered porch. The possibilities are endless. The house is situated on 3/4 acre and is a tranquil sanctuary. A good place for a respite from the trouble you've had. We have two friendly dogs and a cat. I think that's enough pets, but if you have a pet we could talk about that.

The public school district here is ideal. In the short term this place could house a family just trying to get back on its feet. Long term I could see a couple of high school kids spending the school year here while mom and dad rebuild. We are open to other needs/possibilities of course. If this sounds good to you, but you can't see how you can get all the way to Oregon, contact us anyway. Our ancestors walked here from Missouri. We'll find a way.

If a Tulane student has elected to visit Lewis and Clark Law School for a year, we may be able to offer free housing. Please contact us at wayneskraft@comcast.net or by phone at 503-697-3179.

Thanks.

I am a Tulane alum (2002) and can offer a displaced Tulane or Loyola student or faculty member a guest room (free rent, private bath) on my horse farm in Lovettsville, Virginia for this semester (or possibly this school year). We are located approximately 1 hour from DC (where I work) by car or MARC train. You would need a car.

For those seeking temporary housing while they look for a place, I also have a large, new, 1 BR cottage on the farm that is available until November. It is very cute and would be great for a single person or small family.

As of the evening of Saturday, September 3, the University of Richmond
School of Law in Richmond, Virginia has accepted 17 students from Tulane and
Loyola New Orleans law schools and have reached our enrollment capacity. We
regret that we will not be able to consider additional applications from
students at this time, but we're confident that the generous spirit
exhibited by the community of AALS law schools will be able to accommodate
all students who have need of an academic home for the Fall term (or for the
year, if need be). The students, faculty and staff of Richmond Law would
like to send their best wishes to their counterparts at the affected
schools, and we'd also like to salute the efforts of the AALS, the ABA
Section on Legal Education, and most especially, Professor Eric Muller at
UNC for all of the work they've done during this difficult and chaotic time.

Thanks again,

Dear Admissions Directors, Deans, LexisNexis authors & others,

Many of you have inquired about LexisNexis Law School Publishing’s plans to assist law students from Tulane University & Loyola, New Orleans displaced by Hurricane Katrina. LexisNexis will provide free coursebooks to all displaced students enrolled in a law school class that requires a LexisNexis coursebook. We will also provide free copies of relevant titles from our Understanding Series and our Q & A Series to all displaced students enrolled in a law school class that corresponds to a title in our Understanding and Q & A product lines.

To receive this assistance, an appointed school administrator (e.g., registrar, admissions director) must make this contact on behalf of the displaced student(s) who have been invited to participate in their Fall 2005 program. Requests must include:

- student’s name

- mailing address

- email address (if any) &/or phone number

- home law school

- author name & title of adopted LexisNexis coursebook

- Fall 2005 course listing (to determine relevant study aid title(s) to send to each student)

Please send this information to: Lisa Hughes, LexisNexis Law School Sales Operations Manager at Lisa.A.Hughes@lexisnexis.com or via fax at 518-641-6090.

To help us expedite this effort, please forward this message to the appropriate contact at your school.

Thank you, in advance, for your assistance.

There's a "semester abroad" program in comparative media policy at Central European University that should qualify for a semester at Tulane (I would hope). Cardozo is sending one student. It begins September 25. There's more information at www.cmcs.ceu.hu. The program is also set up as a year long program that would provide a Masters in Public Policy as well as a semester's credit (again. if Tulane would approve). This should be an exciting program. If anyone wants more information they can write to me at monroe.price@gmail.com and I'll get them in touch with the right people. I think CEU would make special efforts to accommodate a few Tulane Law students if they are interested. Or call me at 212 799 7223.

Another update from Tennessee:

For Loyola and Tulane students coming to (or interested in) Tennessee Law, there are two websites that provide information on housing, carpools, books, furniture, and other necessities. Some students have offered to arrange transportation to Knoxville for students stranded without cars.

Most housing listings offer free lodging with other law students, but we hope to add other discounted/free properties in the Knoxville area as soon as possible. There are listings that welcome singles, couples, families, and pets.

Housing at: http://utkvisitinglawstudents.blogspot.com/
Other necessities at: http://utkvisitinglawstudents2.blogspot.com/

Yale Law School will accept applications to visit during the fall semester 2005 from second- and third-year students at Loyola University New Orleans School of Law and Tulane University Law School. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept first-year students. Yale Law School classes begin on Tuesday, September 6. Because we are a small school, we can only offer a few spaces and will necessarily give preference to students who will be able to start classes as soon as possible and those who have a special reason to attend YLS. We will waive tuition for accepted students, provided that they are paying tuition to their home institutions.

To apply to visit during Fall 2005, please visit our website at www.law.yale.edu and click on the New Orleans link in the "Currently @ YLS" box. We will begin admitting students at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, September 6, and will continue until all spots are filled. We will convey decisions by email.

HOUSTON AREA BBQ - Labor Day Monday, Sept. 5th
West Houston Area
12noon until - at least 8 pm
This will be "Open House" style - come and go as you like and are able.

I would love to invite any and all friends of Tulane to my home for a BBQ on Labor Day. I live in West Houston (Memorial OTB - that means "outside the Beltway).

Please call or email me and I will provide the address. There will be mounds of food ( including veggie burgers, etc.) and swimming, trampoline, games for the kids. I also have a ton of "kid stuff" for anyone who may wish to have/borrow it to keep the kids occupied (ice skates, rollerblades, a bike for small child, board games, DVDs).

I will do this RAIN or SHINE. I have plenty of room inside or out, so feel free to bring the people who are hosting you. Just let me know how many and if you have any specific dietary needs (vegan, kosher, etc.).

I have had people RSVP already and my daugther (11 yo) is particularly excited to have other kids coming. I have a small dog (some of you remember, Isabel - a pug who used to hang out late night in the Clinic offices as a pup) so if you need to bring a pet, I have a fenced yard.

Call or email for address and directions and head count!

I also have wireless internet, etc. so can bring your own laptop, but I have computers set up for emailing, etc.

Any law students interested in coming to the University of Colorado's law school, I have a room that you can stay in. It's a small apartment but we have an extra room that has a queen-sized futon in it. We do have ferrets so if you are allergic, this would not be a good place but I could probably find someone else in the law school who could put you up. I am a 1L and I live in Broomfield with my husband. We are on the bus line, about a 20 minute ride to the law school. Call or email me (303)946-4734 jenniferdmcginn@yahoo.com

class with me. Please email or call (917) 273-9506.

I can offer a spare bedroom (rent-free, furnished,
private bathroom) to a displaced Tulane or Loyola law
student who decides to enroll at a DC or Baltimore law
school for the fall semester. I live in Laurel, MD,
which is about 20 miles from both cities. The commute
into DC (where I work) is about an hour and ten
minutes by MARC train. It's probably about the same
into Baltimore's Camden station.

Aspen, Foundation Press and West to Provide Free Books to Displaced Tulane & New Orleans Law Students

Aspen, Foundation Press, and West have agreed to provide free course materials to Loyola-New Orleans and Tulane law students displaced by Hurricane Katrina.

From Aspen:

We will provide replacement titles for those students who lost Aspen books in the hurricane and its aftermath, or students who are enrolling in sections at other schools using an Aspen title different than the one they purchased. We ask that these requests come from the school – academic dean, registrar, etc. All school requests should be sent to legaledu@aspenpublishers.com or 800.950.5259, where they will be given highest priority. Books will be sent to the school requestor for student distribution, unless we are directed to send to another distribution point (bookstore, direct to students, etc).

From Foundation Press and West:

In an effort to assist Tulane and Loyola-New Orleans law students in need of Fall textbooks, West Law School and Foundation Press are providing new or replacement course materials free of charge to those impacted by Hurricane Katrina. Those in need should contact Christopher Hart, Director of Sales and Account Management for West Law School and Foundation Press at 1-800-313-9378 or Christopher.Hart@thomson.com. Requests should include the name of the student's home law school, the name of the student's Fall 2005 law school, the author and title of the book(s) being requested and current shipping and contact information for the student.

In order to maximize our help to ILs who may be choosing to sit in on our classes, it would help to know what the Tulane first semester program looks like, i.e.which subjects and the credit load for each. Anyone who has the info handy, please send to racharo-at-wisc-dot-edu

thanks!

A Tulane 2L reports to me that she got an email telling her that she must be enrolled in another law school by Tuesday, 9/6, if she is to be permitted to complete this year of school. (Note from blog owner: I have not myself seen such a hard-and-fast rule anywhere, though I have seen many schools express a preference that students arrive and begin work ASAP b/c their semesters have already begun.)

This is placing great stress on her, as one might imagine. Apparently she is living in a van on I-95 somewhere, and is not in a great position to be making the necessary arrangements.

Does anyone know whether the information that she received is true? Please post a reply here, or send an email to tulanelaw@isthatlegal.org.

For Tulane or Loyola students who are accepted into a Seattle area university and housing. My husband and I live in the Ballard neighborhood in Seattle (about 15 minutes from UW and Seattle University) and are alumni's of the University of Washington and Seattle University. We have been touched by the tragedy and want to help in any way we can. We have a guest room with its own private bathroom available to a student (single or with spouse/child) needing a place to stay while attending school in Seattle.

If you are interested please contact me via email at edlday@hotmail.com or edlday@comcast.net.

I'm a 1L at New York Law School, in New York City.

As posted on this blog, my school has offered unlimited placement for Tulane & Loyola 2L & 3L students.
If any students have questions regarding NYLS, please feel free to email me, I'd be happy to take the time to answer any questions via either email or phone.

Additionally, if you are curious about our faculty or curriculum, please don't hesitate to go to the school's website: www.nyls.edu and check it out. (You will find that the professors have fantastic credentials, the school could not be in a better location in NYC, and th
