Loyola Law School has demonstrated an exceptionally strong commitment to public interest law since it first opened its doors, and formed the Public Interest Law Department in 1998.
Overseeing several different programs, the Public Interest Law Department works to assist students wishing to make a career in public interest law to realize their career potential, offering scholarships, post-graduate fellowships and general guidance.
Also, by being the first ABA-accredited school in the State of California to have a mandatory pro bono service requirement, and by offering funding for 70 summer employment positions in local legal service organizations, each and every Loyola Law School student has the opportunity to experience the satisfaction of fulfilling their obligation to the community at large.
Between these two programs, Loyola students donate well over 20,000 hours of student legal services each year to non-profit organizations throughout the community.
