Tax Law

Students in their second and third year may elect to specialize in tax law, earning a Certificate in Tax Law. Students who have met the certificate requirements by the time of graduation will have this distinction noted on their transcripts and receive a certificate.

Law Journals

Loyola offers students the opportunity to administer three scholarly journals. Candidates for these journals are chosen based on their grades and their ability to write. Journal students are responsible for all aspects of the publishing process including soliciting and selecting articles, working with authors to prepare their articles for publication, and managing the journal's production. The law journal also offer regular symposia, which bring together academics, advocates, and practicing experts on topics of legal change, innovation, and reform.

Events

The Advocacy Center hosts several events throughout the year. Collaboration among numerous programs with the Advocacy Center creates many opportunities for both annual and unique events. Each fall, the Advocacy Center hosts its Golf Classic, and each spring, the Center hosts the Fedoroff Lecture and celebrates student accomplishments at its Spring Banquet.

Teams

Competing at the regional and national level unquestionably enhances members' law school experience, provides exceptional networking opportunities, and uniquely affords practical application of academic lessons and skills. Students who wish to hone their written, oral, and negotiating advocacy skills are strongly encouraged to seek membership on our competition teams.

Programs

The Advocacy Center consists of five diverse experiential programs that prepare students for all aspects of the practice of law: Alternative Dispute Resolution, Danny and Mary Becnel Trial Advocacy, International Law, Legal Research and Writing, and Moot Court.
