Once again, Loyola Law School, Los Angeles alumni score top marks in the 2019 Southern California Super Lawyers list. Loyola dominates the “Top 100” list with 25 alumni, more than any other school. But the distinction doesn’t stop there: Loyola also ranks No. 1 in the “Top 50 Women” category with 13 alumnae recognized. LLS was the only school in the double digits on this list. Furthermore, the Law School claims eight alumni in the Orange County "Top 50" and two in the coveted "Top 10" list.

The selection process is intensive; at most only five percent of the lawyers in the state are included in the annual Super Lawyers list. Once nominated, each candidate is evaluated by 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. The criteria include pro bono and community service as a lawyer, experience, special certifications, verdicts and settlements, scholarly lectures and writings, honors, awards, and transactions -- to name a few. The candidates with the highest point total in each practice area rate a list of attorneys in their own area on a scale of one to 10. The attorneys with the highest score from each category are selected for the final list.

Loyola congratulates all of its alumni on the 2019 Southern California Super Lawyers lists!
