Allyson LaBruzza

Allyson LaBruzza joined the Office of Law Admissions in 2023. She is a New Orleans native and an alumna of Loyola University New Orleans College of Law. Allyson received her bachelor’s degree in philosophy with honors from Loyola University New Orleans in 2013 after completing a thesis in bioethics with former university President Father Kevin Wildes. She then earned her J.D. with a certificate in health law from the College of Law in 2016. During her time at the College of Law, Allyson was an oralist/brief writer for the First Amendment moot court team, a teaching and research assistant for the Lawyering I & II Courses, a Rule XX clinic student practitioner, and a published member of the Loyola Law Review.

After graduation, Allyson clerked for the Honorable Bernadette D’Souza in Orleans Civil District Court before beginning private practice of her own in various areas of civil litigation. Most recently, Allyson worked for Southeast Louisiana Legal Services in the eviction defense department for Orleans Parish.

As assistant director of law admissions, Allyson primarily concentrates on the application process as a whole, overseeing the receipt and flow of law applications throughout the admission cycle. She also represents Loyola across the nation at graduate fairs and law school forums. As an alumna, she is thrilled to communicate her passion for Loyola and her experience in New Orleans with law applicants.
