Luis Perez, J.D. '81
Co-Chair, Latin America Practice, Akerman LLP, Miami
"At Loyola, I learned the importance of paying it forward. I try to help the younger attorneys advance in their careers. Giving back is the best legacy to which we can aspire."
Elizabeth Paniello, J.D. '22
Florida Atlantic University '19
"When I was looking at law schools, I wanted to find one that mirrored the friendly, smaller environment of my undergrad, but still provided me with lots of different opportunities to learn."
Derrick Riggins, J.D. ‘22
Florida A&M University ‘07
“Loyola law school has given me the opportunity to achieve a dream of mine to be a lawyer and advocate for issues and causes that are important to me. I was concerned about the experience and if I would be prepared to move back to Florida. Those issues were put to rest attending school here because they prepare you for the most valuable achievement as a lawyer, the bar exam. Take advantage of the services offered by the school and you will have a wonderful experience.”
At Loyola Law, we don’t just make lawyers.
Our graduates become policy makers, compliance officers, environmental activists, justice seekers, and community advocates. It takes courage to have a calling—we’ll give you the support and tools to make it happen.
