The Stuart H. Smith Law Clinic
Academics. Justice. Service. These are the core tenets on which the Loyola University New Orleans College of Law is built. Nowhere are they more prevalent than in the Stuart H. Smith Law Clinic. This legal clinic gives third-year law students the opportunity to be sworn in to practice law and put their classroom knowledge to work in representing those in need under the supervision of clinic faculty. Students gain a wide range of legal skills, practical experience in a number of fields, and learn what it means to use the law to serve others.
