Academics
Loyola University New Orleans College of Law is one of the few schools in the country that offers curricula in both civil and common law, giving you options of practicing law in Louisiana, across the country, or around the world. Four joint-degree programs and eight certificates of concentration in specialized fields will give you the knowledge and credentials you need to practice the type of law that interests you most. And because we know that for some students going to law school full-time is not an option due to life's demands, we offer part-time evening and day programs so you can get your degree on your terms.
