Loyola Center for Conflict Resolution

Welcome to the Loyola Center for Conflict Resolution

For over 30 years, the Loyola Center for Conflict Resolution (LCCR) has helped individuals, families, and communities throughout Los Angeles County resolve conflicts peacefully, respectfully, and effectively. Founded in 1993, LCCR provides accessible alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services while training the next generation of conflict resolution professionals. Our services help people explore their options, improve communication, and reach durable agreements. By helping people resolve conflicts constructively, we strengthen relationships, build understanding, and contribute to more peaceful communities. Services are available in English, Spanish, and other languages through our diverse network of staff, trained students and community volunteers.

Clinics

In addition to serving the public, LCCR trains and mentors Loyola Law School students in mediation, communication, problem-solving and conflict resolution. Through hands-on experience and community service, students develop the skills needed to become effective leaders for positive change.
