Keys to Employment Success

Patricio Ramos
“The Loyola Law Prosecution Clinic run by Judge Calvin Johnson and Judge Molaison is the single most important experience that secured my employment as a prosecutor. The placement at Orleans Parish District Attorney prepared me for all the hypotheticals in my interview, because I actually was placed in those scenarios."

"The three most important things that I participated in at Loyola were definitely my time in the Family Law Clinic, Trial Advocacy, and the Externship Program. Participating in the Externship Program 1L and 2L summers helps me gain the confidence by applying what I learned in my coursework to real life and being able to see the law through a judge's perspective. Trial Advocacy taught me how to conduct myself in a courtroom, which gave me invariable confidence as I embark on my next journey as a Litigation Attorney. Lastly, participating in Clinic gave me the opportunity to combine what I learned in my coursework, what I learned in Trial Advocacy, and what I observed externing with numerous judges, which allowed me to see a holistic view of the court system - which truly made me feel prepared and confident for this next adventure!"

“From the very beginning of law school, the Career Development Office made itself visible and open to students seeking more information about employment in the legal field. As someone who'd gained a few years of professional experience prior to attending law school, the CDO helped me better understand how to bridge those two worlds in highlighting my past professional skills while also underscoring my legal aspirations. Because of the constant support, guidance, and encouragement, I am grateful to be joining a great firm with a clear path to success in my legal practice.”

“Taking advantage of Loyola's many offerings helped me secure my associate position at Jones Walker. Whether by official offerings, like Moot Court, Trial Advocacy, or advice from the career staff, or through the less formal network of Loyola alumni in the area willing to help, Loyola played a pivotal role in securing my legal future in New Orleans. I feel indebted to the university and the people that make it go.”
