The Latino Law Students Association (LLSA) at the Loyola University Chicago School of Law exists to create an academic and social support network to help students succeed in law school.

Our goals are to offer programs that focus on professional and academic development; to bring in speakers to discuss legal issues affecting Latinos in the United States and abroad; to keep our members informed about scholarships, Latino-centric events, and potential employment opportunities; and to provide a means to be a part of and serve the broader Latino community. LLSA events aim to help build community and familiarity amongst Latino and non-Latino friends and classmates within the School of Law.
