COLLEGE OF LAW

The Loyola University New Orleans College of Law is a bridge.

A bridge between those committed to justice and the communities that need them. Between a group of strong, dedicated men and women and the experts who can shape them into lawyers. Between a world that's ready for change and the ones who are going to change it.

Our students are more than just academic overachievers -- they're creative. Thoughtful. And they strive always for fairness and justice.

Whether our students use their law degrees to create new companies or access public benefits for low-income clients, the Loyola University New Orleans College of Law prepares students to practice law with excellence anywhere in the world.
