The Evening Division Program is geared to those students who either work full-time or who find the evening program more conducive to the schedules which governs their lives. Our evening students come to us with an extremely broad range of educational and professional experiences, which not only enriches the classroom experience but adds significantly to the law school dynamic. Evening students also have the opportunity to participate in the various extracurricular activities and student organizations available on campus.

Loyola's Evening Division is one of the largest, most highly regarded programs of legal education in the United States. The Law School has a long-standing commitment to excellence in both the day and evening division programs. To maintain consistency, required courses are taught in both programs by full-time faculty. In addition, Loyola attracts members of the federal and state judiciary and some of the finest local experts in specialized areas of the law to teach elective courses in the Evening Division (these courses are also open to day students in the upper division). And, Loyola's Evening Division alumni are among the most successful and prominent members of the legal profession - ascending to high ranks in business, government and the judiciary.

The evening program is usually completed in four years including two Summer Sessions. Classes meet from Monday through Thursday evenings beginning at 6 pm during the fall and spring semesters and at 5:45 pm during the Summer Session.
