Honor Board

The Loyola University College of Law Honor Board is an elected body of students who serve in an advisory capacity to the Dean of the College of Law. The Board is charged with investigating alleged Honor Code violations, holding hearings on alleged violations when appropriate, and recommending sanctions to the Dean of the College of Law when it finds that a violation has been committed. The operations and proceedings of the Honor Board are governed by the provisions of the Loyola University College of Law Honor Code.

Attendance and Enrollment Standards

Attendance

ABA Standard 308(a) requires law schools to “adopt, publish, and adhere to sound academic standards, including those for regular class attendance, good standing, academic integrity, graduation, and dismissal.” Pursuant to Standard 308(a) the College of Law requires regular and punctual class attendance.  No student will be given credit for work done in any course in which he or she has failed to attend at least 80 percent of the scheduled classes.

Student Wellbeing Resources

Our Jesuit tradition teaches that education occurs in the context of total human development. Our mission is to provide each of you with the resources, support, and guidance necessary to achieve personal and professional success both while at the law school and beyond. We are available to you to address academic, personal, and professional issues you might experience during your law school career. Law school can be stressful. It can also be demanding—not just on you, the student, but also on your friends and family, partners and children.

Pro Bono Program

Law students at Loyola have the option of participating in the Gillis Long Student Pro Bono Program to satisfy the Law and Poverty requirement needed for graduation. The Gillis Long Student Pro Bono Program requires fifty hours of pro bono work which the student may perform at any time during their law school career.

Housing Assistance & Campus Parking

Help Finding Your New Home

Most Loyola Law students live off campus in any number of nearby apartments, mansions, carriage houses, shotguns, and camelback homes. The College of Law’s campus is nestled in the quintessential Uptown New Orleans neighborhood. You’ll find a mixture of multi-units, mansions, shops, restaurants, and plenty of green space in nearby Audubon Park. The best strategy for securing housing is to visit New Orleans in the summer to get acquainted with the city, with the plan to put down a deposit on an apartment. 

Loan Repayment Assistance Program

Beginning in 2023, the Louisiana Bar Foundation began administering the Loan Repayment Assistance Program. The LBF is dedicated to making a career in civil legal aid more competitive with other legal fields. The Loan Repayment Assistance Program does just that by providing forgivable loans of up to $5,000 per year to attorneys working in a public interest position. The loan is disbursed quarterly and is forgiven after completion of 12 months employment at the legal aid provider. Learn more at raisingthebar.org.
