Catholic Lawyers Guild
Faculty Advisor: John Breen
The goals of the Catholic Lawyers Guild are:
- Provide a vehicle for Catholic law students to discuss legal issues in light of Christian principles and the Catholic Faith Tradition
- Present liturgy opportunities for Catholic law students
- Facilitate the transition from law school to practice through networking opportunities with members of the Catholic Lawyers Guild of Chicago and through guest speakers
- Create opportunities for outreach in the interests of peace and justice
Each year, the Catholic Lawyers Guild at Loyola sponsors a Trivia Night to raise funds for a charitable purpose, such as a donation to the Catholic Campaign for Human Development.
