Preparing students
for practice
Recognizing that today’s employers want law graduates with
hands-on skills, Loyola prepares students for a seamless transition
to practice through a mix of solid classroom study, online learning
options, and significant practical and clinical experience. Following
are some of this year’s unique experiential learning opportunities.
