“The CDO had my back from day one of my 1L year. As a student with previous professional experience, the advisors flawlessly helped me navigate the new world of the legal profession -- from resume review to helping me snag and tackle three summer positions at Liskow, Phelps Dunbar, and Stone Pigman over my 2L summer. The entire office always provided invaluable assistance."

"This summer, I had a very enriching legal experience. I was honored as a fellow for the Federal Magistrate Judges Association, interned for a federal judge, and clerked at a large full-service firm. The Career Development Office (CDO) helped me bridge my materials to fit a legal perspective as an experienced professional. While OCI is a great way to secure a good opportunity, it's not the only path to a fantastic summer and beyond. I encourage every student to explore all avenues and take advantage of opportunities to grow personally and professionally. Remember, you are in charge of your career."

"I was a summer extern for Magistrate Judge Donna Phillips Currault at the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana in New Orleans. The time that I spent in Judge Currault’s chambers was an incredible experience after finishing 1L year. I was able to be in the courtroom daily to watch trials, oral arguments, sentencings, arraignments, and other types of proceedings taking place throughout the federal district court. While I learned about civil procedure and oral argument in the classroom as a 1L, watching the procedural concepts and oral advocacy techniques play out in a courtroom setting was an incomparable enriching experience for me.”

“Choosing Loyola because of my passion for social justice, I was drawn to the school's embodiment of that spirit. The Access to Justice (ATJ) internship provided me with invaluable proximity to social justice work, allowing me to collaborate closely with various organizations in New Orleans and across Louisiana, such as Justice Bernadette D'Souza in the Family Court of Orleans Parish, The Pro Bono Project, and Southeast Louisiana Legal Services. My aspiration to pursue litigation was further solidified during the second half of the summer, where I gained extensive courtroom experience and a lifelong mentor while working with Judge Enright in the 24th Judicial District. ”

“With the encouragement, support, and guidance of the Career Development Office, I successfully obtained a clerkship during my 1L summer at Southeast Louisiana Legal Services (SLLS). The hands-on experience was instrumental in bridging the gap between theoretical classroom learning and real-world legal practice. During my time at SLLS, I gain confidence in my ability to thrive as a student and to pursue a successful career.”

"Through the Gillis Long Program, I was able to intern with Louisiana Center for Children's Rights. Being able to work with such passionate attorneys and get feedback on writing, trial preparations, and client communications, have been invaluable experiences that have allowed me to start my 2L year with a better understanding of how the "real world" connects with my in-class studies. With their office values centered around community and mental health awareness, LCCR taught us all how to navigate difficult legal challenges while leaning on our colleagues for help, when needed. Being allowed to see intense trial sessions, write memos and motions on novel legal issues, as well as being able to visit clients; working with LCCR has been a wonderful experience that I will not soon forget! "
