Removing Barriers to Law School
We encourage students from all backgrounds and experiences to apply to law school. From doctors and nurses to entrepreneurs and journalists, a legal education can enhance and benefit leaders from every industry. No matter where you start from, Loyola Law can help you achieve your next step.
We’re taking action to remove barriers that prevent qualified candidates from choosing law school. That’s why we accept three options for admission to all of our Juris Doctor programs: GRE, LSAT, and JD-Next. Accepting different test scores means that those who might never have considered applying to law school may now do so. It reduces the time and financial burden of taking multiple exams, increases the diversity of thought and experience within the classroom and, ultimately, within the profession.
