“I met an admissions director at a law school fair and Loyola checked all of the boxes that I wanted in a law school: small class sizes, balanced mix of "nontraditional" students like me, committed to social justice, and scholarship opportunities — it was a bonus that the school is in New Orleans — a city I really loved visiting.”
Monica Mendoza, J.D. '19
Assistant District Attorney,
Brazos County District Attorney’s Office
"Loyola has an excellent research and writing program that truly prepared me to read, write, and think like a lawyer. Starting my career as a Research Attorney in Texas, I felt prepared to conduct extensive legal research, draft any legal document, and respond to legal questions from prosecutors across the state. Not to mention, the professors at Loyola took the time to develop meaningful relationships with their students"
