Beyond the casebook, the Center on Environment, Land, and Law, offers immersive opportunities to apply and engage with the law where it happens. From our specialized policy and research labs to intensive field courses and externships, students gain hands-on experience navigating the complex regulatory, social, and environmental landscapes of the Gulf South and beyond.

Students interested in transactional work can prepare to practice by joining the Entrepreneurship Project. New Orleans is a national hub for business innovation. It was recently named the No. 1 Brainpower City in the United States by Forbes and the Coolest Startup City in America by Inc.com.  Through the Entrepreneurship Project, students help local start-ups organize their legal entities, develop contracts, and prepare for outside financing. Loyola works with Propeller, a business incubator with a focus on social and environmental ventures, to identify clients.
