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

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.

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.

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 the students are friendly and welcoming to new faces.)

Finally, I am simply a student, I'm not a representative of the school in any official sense. My brother went to Tulane University, Class of '98. I hold New Orleans, the universities, and all of the citizens there in the highest regard. I hope I can be of some help.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

In light of the Dean Ponoroff's recent announcement, I want to restate
Albany Law School's willingness to allow Tulane 1L through 3L students
to visit with us for the semester (or the year if need be). If you are
in the area and wish to visit, please check our website at www.als.edu
for details or check the Association of American Law Schools website at
www.aals.org. It is imperative, however, given the circumstances, that
you contact the school by early next week.

Also, while our LL.M. programs maybe not as extensive as Tulane's, if we
can help, we will consider individual requests from LL.M. students on
the same basis as J.D. students.

Please know that we will do what we can to help and the Albany Law
School community's heart goes out to all those affected by hurricane
Katrina.

I am a Tulane law alum [JD 93, LLM 94] now living/working in the northern suburbs of Atlanta. I am happy to offer a spare bedroom, at no charge, for the fall semester to a displaced Tulane law student that ends up in Atlanta. It is a furnished upstairs bedroom and bathroom, with a queen sized bed. My house is in Roswell, GA, area code 30075. Must love dogs—I have two very sweet but occasionally boisterous boxers. To be safe, I must do a background check on someone before I will make a firm commitment. My contact info is below, and reaching me via cell phone is best. When I was at Tulane, Hurricane Andrew threatened to hit New Orleans, but we got lucky. I would hope that if Andrew had hit New Orleans, someone would have offered me a place to stay. God bless,a nd good luck to everyone.

University of Pittsburgh, School of Law, Pittsburgh PA-We would like to offer our condolences to those who have lost family or friends, or who are suffering due to Hurricane Katrina. We are pleased to help as many students as we possibly can during this difficult time.

Pitt Law will accept 2L and 3L students from Tulane Law School and Loyola Law School (New Orleans) as visiting students for the fall semester, and if needed, for the full year. We have not put a maximum on the number of students we will accept, and we hope to be able to accommodate students as needed.

The Law School hopes to be able to waive fees and tuition for affected students who are Pennsylvania residents, but must await the formulation of a university-wide policy on this issue by our University Administration.

The student must be in good standing as that is defined by his or her home school. Pitt Law will accept the student's declaration of good standing, pending documentation of that fact once it is available.

We encourage students to contact us as soon as possible as our classes began on August 29. Please call Assistant Dean of Admissions, Charmaine McCall at 412-648-1413, 412-648-1414, or email her at mccall@law.pitt.edu.

Visiting Tulane or Loyola students may stay at MSU College of Law as long as their home institutions remain closed. They will be expected to return to Tulane or Loyola when these schools reopen.

If you are interested in attending MSU College of Law, you may contact Assistant Director of Admissions Cory Burke, ’05, throughout the Labor Day Weekend and Monday, as well as throughout the week of September 5, 2005.

West Virginia University College of Law
Morgantown, WV

WVU will admit students for fall term as transient or visiting students. If the school in which they are enrolled does not reopen for the spring semester, then the students could continue for the spring semester. We will accept as transient students 3L, 2L or 1L from Tulane or Loyola, New Orleans.

Students who have paid tuition and fees for the fall semester will not be charged tuition and fees at WVU. However, if the transient student wishes to use the Recreation Center or attend athletic events, the appropriate activity fees must be paid. If the student continues at WVU, financial arrangements for the spring semester will have to be reached later. We will work with the home school as to an appropriate way to reflect credit for courses completed at WVU. Our preference would be to have credit reflected on the home school transcript since that is the school in which the student is enrolled and to which the student paid tuition and fees and will be the degree granting institution.

We anticipate we can accommodate 15 students (five 1L and ten 2L/3L).

Beginning September 6, 2005: Janet L. Armistead, Assistant Dean for Admissions and Student Affairs, e-mail janet.armistead@mail.wvu.edu, phone 304-293-7320.

For Friday, September 2, 2005: James A. McLaughlin, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, e-mail james.mclaughlin@mail.wvu.edu, phone 304-293-6823

As all of you know, the tragedy in New Orleans and Mississippi mounts by the moment. I am sure all of you feel, as I do, extraordinarily saddened by what the people in these areas are going through. I am also confident, given the nature of our community, that you all want to know what you can do to help.

One thing that we can do is to help the law students who would be beginning school at Tulane and Loyola in New Orleans. These students face huge personal and professional disruptions. We have just announced that we will accept a limited number of 2L and 3L students from Loyola and Tulane as visiting students at UCLA for the fall semester. We may extend the period of the visit into the spring if requested to do so by the deans of these schools. Since many of these students have already paid tuition and are experiencing extra costs attributable to the disruption, we will waive our tuition and differential fee.

As a community, we will need to step up and help these students. I anticipate that they will begin arriving this weekend. Many will not have housing; some will lack appropriate clothing and none will have notes or materials from the first two weeks of class. In a separate e-mail later today I will provide you with some information for how you can offer assistance if you wish.

UCLA is a special community… we are a group of people who truly care about each other as well as others. I know many of you watching the news can barely endure feelings of impotence as we watch the huge amount of suffering taking place in our country. Over the next few days, I will be discussing with members of the community other things that we can do to make a difference.

Thank you.

All,

Our President and Provost have approved an assistance plan to aid
dislocated students enrolled at Tulane and Loyola.

The University of Washington Law School will admit as visiting law
students, anyone enrolled, and in good standing, at either the Tulane
University or Loyola University Law Schools.Visiting students will be
permitted to matriculate until such time as their home school is again
operational.

We will grant preference to third year and second year students who are
Washington residents, or, who have demonstrable ties to Washington.
Given our physical limits, we will not accept first year students. We
will be able to accommodate a maximum of 15 upper division students.

The Law School and the University will waive tuition for these students
on the assumption that they have paid, or will be paying, tuition to
their home school. Visiting students are advised that course enrollment
may be limited by both UW law student enrollment and available classroom
seating.

Classes begin on Monday, September 26, 2005. Students should contact
Ms. Kathy Swinehart for application
information. We will rely on student assurances that they are in good
standing at their home institutions, pending subsequent confirmation
from either Tulane or Loyola.

Chicago-Kent College of Law is pleased to offer assistance to J.D. students from Tulane University and Loyola University New Orleans who wish to visit at Chicago-Kent for the Fall 2005 semester. Students will also be permitted to visit for the Spring 2006 semester in the event that Tulane and Loyola do not reopen for the spring semester. Tuition is waived as long as the student has paid tuition to his or her home school. Chicago-Kent will also provide books for all visiting students from Tulane and Loyola for the Fall 2005 semester.

All Tulane and Loyola students are welcome to visit. However, because Tulane and Loyola are still evaluating options for first-year students, 1Ls will be admitted to Chicago-Kent as unofficial visitors and should be aware that they may end up repeating coursework in the event that the schools establish alternative schedules. In addition, due to space limitations in first-year classes, Chicago-Kent can accommodate a maximum of 6 first-year visitors.

Students who are interested in visiting may visit our website at www.kentlaw.edu/adm/katrina for more information or may contact the Office of Admissions at (312) 906-5020 or admit@kentlaw.edu.

Sincerely,

Nicole Vilches

Cincinnati stands ready to assist Tulane and Loyola-New Orleans law students who wish to visit here while their home schools work to re-establish operations. We will accept upper-level students with an Ohio or Greater Cincinnati connection as visitors for the fall semester, 2005.

Students in good standing at Tulane and Loyola who can begin classes here on Tuesday, September 6 will be welcomed and registered as visitors. We will accept each student's representation as to academic standing until we can confirm it with Tulane or Loyola. After September 6, we will work with visitors on a case-by-case basis if there is interest and need.

College administrators are working with University officials to assure that Tulane and Loyola students who have already paid tuition at their home schools incur no additional charges for attending classes at Cincinnati.

Students interested in visiting Cincinnati should contact Barbara Watts, Associate Dean at barb.watts@uc.edu or 513.556.6805.

Additional information about our and other law school offers can be found at the AALS-maintained annotated list of law schools offering to admit Tulane and Loyola-New Orleans law students. See http://www.aals.org/neworleans/schoolsbystate.html

Internship in Washington, DC for Displaced Law Students

The U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General (OIG) would like to help law students displaced by Hurricane Katrina by providing internships with its Office of Legal, Legislative, and External Affairs in Washington, DC. We are a relatively small legal office, but could accommodate 2 law students for the fall semester.

OIG has a history of employing law students in our office for pay or for academic credit (if granted by your institution). We typically hire local law students, but given the terrible effects of Hurricane Katrina, we would like to extend this opportunity to displaced law students first.

We encourage interested law students from affected law schools, including but not limited to those who have been admitted on an emergency basis by DC-area law schools, to contact us. We understand that many of you may not have your files with you, but under Federal regulations, we will need some proof of enrollment at an accredited institution (and the dates of enrollment) in order to hire students.

To learn more about the DOT Office of Inspector General, go to our website at http://www.oig.dot.gov/about.jsp.

The School of Law will accept up to 20 students (day 2L or 3L, and evening 2L, 3L & 4L) from Tulane or Loyola, New Orleans law schools as transient or visiting students for the fall semester, 2005.

At this time, we anticipate that grades will be on a pass-fail basis. We will also make every effort to help students find temporary housing with faculty, staff, or other students. This is the end of the first week of classes, so time is of the essence.
Qualified students who are interested in visiting should complete and send in the following form as soon as possible: http://www.law.uconn.edu/registrar/forms/demographic.html. The Law School Admission Council has generously offered to assist us by confirming matriculation at either school, so either a Social Security number or an LSAC Registration Number is required.

We will be in the best position to aid students who contact us before Thursday, September 8th.

We're a 3-lawyer insurance defense litigation firm in Birmingham, AL interested in hiring a Katrina-displaced law student as clerk, for at least 15 hours/ week at least through the Fall.

I'm told that both nearby ABA-accredited law schools (The University of Alabama and Cumberland Samford) agreed to accept some law students (see http://aals.org/neworleans/schoolsbystate.html). The non-accredited ones might be accepting students as well.

Please e-mail, fax (205.251.9848) or mail (2001 Park Place Tower Suite 911, Birmingham, AL 35203) your resume.

At Western New England College School of Law, we want to assist students from Tulane or Loyola-New Orleans. We are accepting them on a visiting basis. With the understanding that the student has or will be paying tuition to her or his home school, we will provide the visit without charging our own tuition. We recognize that verification of good standing and transferability of credit is not currently possible and therefore will delay fulfillment of that requirement until it is feasible to do so. Our offer is open to 2L and 3L students at the two schools, but we particularly wish to accommodate any residents from the Western New England area. A student must enroll by the beginning of next week (Sept. 6, 2005). Please contact Associate Dean Eric Gouvin (egouvin@law.wnec.edu 413-782-1262) or Dean Arthur Gaudio (agaudio@law.wnec.edu 413-796-2201).

We're pleased to say that at least one Tulane student will be visiting us and that we are able to assist her.

The University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law will accept visiting students for the Fall 2005 semester. Any second or third-year student at Tulane or Loyola-New Orleans who is in good standing at his or her home school and has a Kansas City or Missouri connection will be accommodated. We will also consider other students (not 1L's) on an individual basis. We will accept the student's statement of being in good standing, pending the accessibility of the records at the home school. We have no set limit on the number of students we can take. We have one Loyola student coming and are currently working with two other students.

Because classes began on August 23, we encourage any interested student to contact us as soon as possible.

We will work with students on an individual basis to make the visit financially feasible.

Please contact Jean Klosterman, Assistant to the Dean, at klostermanj@umkc.edu or (816) 235-5739 or Jeffrey Berman, Associate Dean, at bermanj@umkc.edu or (816) 235-1640.

The University of Oregon School of Law will also accept some displaced law
students. The President of our University wrote tonight, "I hereby
volunteer as a lawprof to help tutor or teach the cohort w/i my areas of
expertise. Best, Dave"

Oregon is a beautiful state in which to spend some time. The city of Eugene
lies between the Pacific Ocean and the mountains, with a world-class
performing arts center downtown and some of the friendliest people you'd
want to encounter.

The Law School at the University of Oregon resides inside a major research
university.

My personal hope, as an environmental law professor, is that some of
Tulane's environmental law students will come up to spend some time with us.
Our Environmental and Natural Resources Law Program is first-rate; our law
student organization, Land-Air-Water, is collegial and activist.

But there is no restriction of subject matter or interest in our invitation.
We have active programs in entrepreneurship, alternative dispute resolution,
family law, and other specialties.

Law students and the law school administration are already organizing
volunteers to help potential incoming students find appropriate housing.
Please contact Liane Richardson, our Assistant Dean for Students, for
further information:

lrichard@law.uoregon.edu.

Oregon will waive tuition-and-fees if the students are paying them to their
New Orleans law schools.

Mississippi College School of Law
Jackson, Mississippi

We will be pleased to admit up to 10 New Orleans 2L or 3L law students as visiting students at our Law School for the fall semester. Tuition will be waived if tuition is paid to the host school and not refunded. Fees will apply.

In addition to the standard common law program, our Law School offers a civil law program for those interested in practicing law in Louisiana. We have a number of Louisiana students enrolled in this program. For the fall semester we will be offering "Obligations" in addition to a range of traditional courses.

Most of our classes have met only twice, so it would be easy to catch up. Enrollment must be accomplished by September 8, 2005. In normal times, Jackson is about a two hour drive from New Orleans. We will be pleased to provide housing information.

To inquire about attending our Law School, please call Dean Rosenblatt at 601-925-7101 or Associate Dean McIntosh at 601-925-7102.

I can offer--and please post this to your faculty--ample room
for a family of 2 adults and 3 children, or 1 adult and the same number of
children in a family. I am prepared to offer all food, electricty, water,
etc.--i.e., no bills, for at least six months.

I am a full professor with plenty of room in my home (my own kids are just
recently gone and grown). I have two cats, so if allergies are a problem,
anyone needing to know that should. Beyond that, I am a light smoker
myself and ususally smoke outside, but I'm willing to tolerate people who
smoke and need to under these circumstances.

I cannot PROMISE this, but I suspect, that if a family came here, Notre
Dame would work with me in finding at least and adjunct position at ND. In
addition, housing in this area of the country is remarkably low, so if a
family wanted to make a real change and get a home, it's a likely town to
be able to do that.

As I said, I could take and feed and provide a great place for 5 people (or
less, if the family is smaller).

Please post this, as soon as possible. We have a fairly good public school
situation here--schools are less than 2 miles from my house. I have an
extra car and am only 4.2 miles from Notre Dame itself.

Thanks--please let me know from you personally or however you post this, if
some family wants/needs to accept this true offer.

I have informed the Provost that the UNC Law School will accept North Carolina residents who are in their final year of law school at Tulane or Loyola as visiting or auditing students for the fall semester. If these students have already paid tuition to their home institutions and those institutions retain the funds, as we have been informed, we will cover the cost of their tuition here from our private funds.

We have identified six students who fit these criteria. We will take as many students as we can, subject to our financial constraints. Obviously, if this effort is to be useful, the students must begin classes quickly. We have been asked to impose a deadline of September 7, but I hope to notify the students this evening or tomorrow morning and ask that they begin classes next week.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN LAW SCHOOL
Madison, Wisconsin
www.law.wisc.edu

We are prepared to admit students from the J.D. programs of Tulane and Loyola – New Orleans as visiting students for the Fall 2005 semester, subject to the conditions below. Our classes begin on Tuesday, September 6, although we recognize that some affected students will be unable to arrive on campus by that date.

Second- and Third-Year Students: We will admit as a visiting student any student who is a resident of Wisconsin or Minnesota (with whom Wisconsin shares tuition reciprocity). We will consider applications from students who are residents of other states, on a space available basis, if there are special reasons for them to be in Madison, such as the opportunity to reside with friends or family.

We will accept the students’ representation that they are in good standing at their home schools. Transfer of the credits earned at Wisconsin will require the approval of their home schools, and at present there remain some questions as to the circumstances under which Tulane and Loyola may grant that approval, particularly as to second-year students.

First-Year Students: Until we receive clearer guidance from Tulane or Loyola, we are not prepared to consider first-years on a visiting-student basis. We deeply sympathize with the plight of the first-year students at those schools, but also recognize that transferring credit for visiting-student work during the first year presents special issues for the home school. If at some time in the very near future either Tulane or Loyola chooses to grant that approval, we will follow the same residency guidelines as listed above. Until this issue is resolved, students who meet those residency guidelines are free to sit in on our first-year classes.

Tuition: All visiting students will be required to pay tuition. For residents of Wisconsin and Minnesota that tuition will be at the appropriate in-state level. For non-residents, the University administration is presently exploring whether partial credit may be given for tuition paid to the student’s home school or other reductions from the full rate of out-of-state tuition may be available.

Contact information: Please direct your inquiries to Michael A. Hall, Assistant Dean for Admissions and Financial Aid -- mahall2@wisc.edu; 608-262-5914.

Nearly every law school in the country now has opened their doors in one way or another to a greater or lesser extent to displaced New Orleans law students. The AALS has been so swamped with such messages from the various law school deans that the already-long list presently on the AALS web site does not include every law school that has agreed to assist (e.g., it does not yet include the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, although we happily have agreed to participate). For that reason, I would suggest that any displaced New Orleans law student should feel free to contact any law school, knowing that it is likely the school is ready and willing to help, whether or not a formal announcement from that school has made it onto a blog or web page. At this point, the principal remaining question that most law schools must address is how best to ensure that the assistance they are providing does not intrude upon the policies to be adopted by Tulane and Loyola New Orleans, which understandably are still attempting to assess the situation. Given that most law schools are waiving tuition, at least for fall semester, for displaced students (often contingent on the students’ directing tuition payments to their home institutions), and the law book publishers are moving toward providing texts free of charge to such students, I might suggest that each New Orleans student at least could begin attending classes at another law school, even if Tulane and Loyola subsequently should decide to move in a different direction for all or some of their students. At most such students might have spent a week or so in additional legal studies, and surely that can’t hurt anyone, in communities that would welcome them and are eager to help.

The University of Connecticut School of Law

55 Elizabeth St.

Hartford, CT 06105

The School of Law will accept up to 20 students (day 2L, or 3L and evening 2L, 3L & 4L) from Tulane or Loyola, New Orleans law schools as transient or visiting students for the fall semester, 2005. We will give a preference to students from Connecticut, and New England compact states (Massachusetts, Vermont, and Rhode Island, & New Hampshire).

We will enroll students based on their own assertion of their status, subject to a statement of good standing supplied by their home schools at a later date.

We will not charge tuition or fees on condition that the students have paid or are paying tuition to their home schools. Students will be eligible for all services, including career planning.

At this time, we anticipate that grades will be on a pass-fail basis.

We will also make every effort to help students find temporary housing with faculty, staff, or other students.

UPDATE: Edited to remove (at least temporarily) the offer to 1Ls.

This is the end of the first week of classes, so time is of the essence. Interested student should contact Associate Dean Ellen Rutt, erutt-at-law-dot-uconn-dot-edu as soon as possible in order to expedite the process. We will be in the best position to aid students contacting us before Thursday, September 8th.

Chicago-Kent College of Law is pleased to offer assistance to J.D.students from Tulane University and Loyola University New Orleans who wish to visit at Chicago-Kent for the Fall 2005 semester. Students will also be permitted to visit for the Spring 2006 semester in the event that Tulane and Loyola do not reopen for the Spring semester. Tuition is waived as long as the student has paid tuition to his or her home school.

All Tulane and Loyola students are welcome to visit. However, because Tulane and Loyola are still evaluating options for first- and second- year students, such students should be aware that they may end up repeating coursework in the event that the schools establish alternative schedules.

Students who are interested in visiting may visit our website at www.kentlaw.edu/adm/katrina for more information or may contact the Office of Admissions at (312) 906-5020 or admit@kentlaw.edu.

Sincerely,

Vanderbilt Law School Opens Doors to Visiting Tulane and Loyola Students

Vanderbilt Law School will open its doors to up to 25 visiting law students from the Tulane and Loyola Law Schools.

Tuition for Tulane and Loyola students who qualify for admission as visitors is waived. However, students admitted as visitors will be charged a $500 administrative fee.

Dean Lawrence Ponoroff of the Tulane University School of Law has authorized deans of other law schools to accept third-year students as visitors for this semester. Dean Bill Quigley at Loyola University New Orleans School of Law is amenable to other schools accepting second- and third-year Loyola students who are preparing to take the bar outside of Louisiana.

Visiting students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher to be eligible for Vanderbilt’s program for visiting students, due to requirements established by the deans of Tulane and Loyola. The credits earned by visiting students at Vanderbilt will apply to their degree from their home institution.

If you are a law student at Tulane or Loyola and wish to learn more about Vanderbilt's program for visiting students, please contact the Vanderbilt Law School's Office of Admission at (615) 322-6452 or admissions@law.vanderbilt.edu.

Our Dean has put out an email message that displaced 2L & 3L Tulane or
Loyola Law students are welcome to study at Capital University Law
School for at least the Fall term.
We are currently in our second week, so time is essential. Anyone
interested in coming to Capital in Columbus, Ohio, should contact
Associate Dean Shirley Mays at smays@law.capital.edu

On another note, I am the President of our GLBT group at Capital. I
wanted to assure anyone with GLBT concerns that the climate in Columbus
is very progressive and friendly. Capital Law has several professors,
staff and administrators who are GLBT and open about it.

If you have any questions about student life at Capital you can email
me at jowen@law.capital.edu

Good Luck & God Bless to all!

Lewis & Clark is offering places to 2d and 3d year Tulane and Loyola JD students in good standing on the same basis that seems to be the growing consensus – no tuition and fees if they are paid to Loyola or Tulane – good for this semester at least, with decisions for next semester later.

In addition, Lewis & Clark Law School is also offering places in Lewis & Clark Law School's Environmental and Natural Resources LL.M. program to students admitted to Tulane's LL.M. program, and if they have paid tuition to Tulane for this semester not to have to pay any additional tuition to Lewis & Clark. The idea is that this would be for this semester with decisions about the following semester to be decided later.

Because our classes have just begun, time is of the essence, so it is important that those who are interested in the JD program should as soon as possible contact Martha Spence, Associate Dean, (Spence@lclark.edu or 503-768-6634) and those interested in the LL.M program should contact Janice Weis, the Director of the Program, (jweis@lclark.edu or 503-768-6649). Details on Lewis & Clark’s JD program are available at http://law.lclark.edu/dept/lawadmss/who_are_we.html and details on the LL.M. in environmental and natural resources law are available at http://www.lclark.edu/dept/elaw/llm_home.html.

The Carolina family is deeply saddened by the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina along the Gulf Coast. Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone affected by this horrific disaster. As a community of scholars we stand ready to assist our friends and colleagues who have had their education and research programs interrupted by providing them with the opportunity to continue their scholarly pursuits at USC. We wish to help them to move forward at this time when there is tremendous uncertainty about when and how life will return to normal in those areas most affected by the storm.

We have already been contacted by a number of students displaced by the storm, and we are doing our very best to accommodate their requests. Undergraduate students interested in studying at USC should contact Scott King as soon as possible in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at (803) 777-4067 for further details. Law students displaced by the storm should contact Paul Rollins at (803) 777-6605.

Faculty and graduate students displaced by Hurricane Katrina should contact the Office of the Provost via email (provost@gwm.sc.edu) to inquire about opportunities to utilize USC’s library, computing or laboratory resources to continue their scholarly pursuits.

The university will make every effort to accommodate individuals whose lives and academic careers have been disrupted by the devastation of this catastrophic hurricane.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most
difficult time.

The LSU Law Center has been in consultation with Deans Ponoroff and
Bromberger, and has formulated its position in deference to their
wishes. Both deans are continuing to address what obviously is a
changing situation. You are advised to remain in close contact with your
admissions officials. Such changes, if any, as may be implemented by
Tulane and Loyola may require modifications in the LSU Law Center policy
set forth below.

At the present time, both deans have asked other law schools to admit
their students on a non-matriculating (visiting) basis. It is possible
that the number of Tulane and Loyola students seeking visitor status at
the Law Center will exceed the capacity of the present Law Center
instructional staff. If so, preference will be given to 3L's. The Law
Center regrets that it cannot accommodate additional 1L students at this
time.

LSU Law Center Policy for Tulane and Loyola Law School 3 and 2L's

The LSU Law Center will accept, subject to instructional capacity,
Tulane and Loyola 3 and 2L's as non-matriculating students for the fall
semester for the courses listed in the following link. (2005 Courses
Available for Nonmatriculating Students - PDF) If requests exceed the
Law Center's instructional capacity, preference will be given to 3L's.
Fall tuition will be waived, but state legislation precludes the Law
Center from waiving fees of approximately $600.

Law Center classes will resume on Tuesday, September 6. 2005. Please
contact the Law Center Admissions Office at 225/578-8646 if you wish to
apply.

Would it be possible to relocate your law schools temporarily, preferably
close to New Orleans but outside the destruction of Katrina? While we -- like
other law schools -- are eager to help out by admitting your students as
visitors, it would probably be best if you could keep your students, faculty,
and staff together. By re-doing your class calendar, each professor's classes
might be concentrated on only a few consecutive days, so that they can live in
their homes near New Orleans and work on repairs, commuting to your temporary
site only for the days they teach.
I believe that many campuses preferentially schedule classes away from
Mondays and Fridays, and evenings and weekends are similarly underscheduled,
and classes might be extended into the winter break, so there may be available
capacity nearby. While this approach has serious problems, there would also be
serious problems in a temporary diaspora of your students.

Hofstra welcomes any Tulane or Loyola third-year law school student to come attend our Law School classes so they do not run into any instructional minutes problems, should the semester at either school be lost. Updates regarding first- and second-year students will be forthcoming.

Law students from Tulane and Loyola may contact the Assistant Dean for Enrollment, Deborah Martin (516.463.5859) or the Director of Admissions, Karen Vahey (516.463.4023), directly to discuss the process for enrollment as a visiting student. These students will attend tuition free. Law students from these schools should be a New York State resident. We will be helpful in any way we can regarding housing. Additionally, Dean Twerski will work with the faculty to assist these students with ways to makeup lost time in the classroom and/or catch up on missed work. To accommodate student's needs, the Hofstra community offers counseling services to students 24 hours a day. Open office hours are Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday. Additionally counselors are on call 24 hours a day.

This site will be used by Dean Ponoroff for official communications and we are busy working with Emory personnel to establish a forum, e-mail directory, and other features which will help facilitate communications for the duration.

This is part of the effort to try and consolidate all communications within one site, as we have become aware of a number of independent blogs which have been started by members of the community.
