At Loyola, we have a history of learning by doing.

PATRICK JACKSON, 3L

In the first year, students research, write, and advocate for clients in simulations as part of the Lawyering Program. By the third year, students have the opportunity to work on actual cases through the clinic so that they are ready to enter the legal profession upon graduation.

ADVOCACY CENTER PROGRAMS Building on Loyola Law’s rich tradition of advocacy, students develop and sharpen their skills, from the early stages of writing and negotiation, through mediation or arbitration, and pre-trial, trial, and appellate practice.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP Loyola’s exciting entrepreneurship course allows students to gain hands-on experience working with local startup ventures.

EXTERNSHIPS Students earn course credit while placed with judges, government agencies, and legal nonprofits across the region.

LAW CLINIC In the Stuart H. Smith Law Clinic, third-year law students practice under the supervision of experienced clinic faculty in areas including immigration, family, children’s rights, criminal defense, workplace justice, prosecution, technology and legal innovation, and community justice.

We’ve been living social justice for a hundred years. It’s kind of our thing.

It’s who we are. Our commitment to service comes from a Jesuit vision that treats our strengths as sacred trusts loaned to us so we can use them to serve others. We find that our training, our knowledge, and our skills are at their best when we use them to make a positive impact on the world.

GILLIS LONG POVERTY LAW CENTER Access to legal services can be a transformative force in people’s lives. For 30 years, the Loyola College of Law has supported students committed to serving the legal needs of the poor.

INCUBATOR PROGRAM Through the Incubator Program, graduates interested in solo practice have access to office space, case referrals, mentorship, and peer feedback – everything they need to get their practices up and running.

They spend at least onefourth of their time in the program doing pro bono work.

VITA PROGRAM The Loyola University New Orleans College of Law is where the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program, or VITA, was born. This alumni-designed program provides assistance for people with low to moderate incomes.

You’ll never hear us claiming to be one of the nation’s largest law schools. That’s not our goal. Our

goal is to provide you with a personal approach to your legal education. Our distinguished faculty and dedicated staff take an active role in your education, partnering with you to ensure your personal success.

They love all things Loyola and inspired me to work hard for this diploma.
