About
In 1985, Congress provided Loyola University with funds to create an endowed Poverty Law Center in the name of Gillis W. Long. Congressman Long served the people of Louisiana in Washington, D.C. from 1973 until his death in 1985 and was known for his commitment to the working and poor people of Louisiana.
Executive Boards
Three of the Advocacy Center Programs -- ADR, Moot Court, and Trial Ad -- are administered in large part by an Executive Board. Outgoing Executive Board Members select rising third-year law students based on a holistic application that considers the applicant's participation in, and commitment to, that program's different internal and external advocacy opportunities. Each Executive Board is responsible for maintaining that year's Program budget and provide support to all of the Advocacy Center's events as well as guide and organize teams and conduct all intraschool competitions.
