Student Organization Orientation 2022
Student organizations are an integral part of Loyola Law School’s vibrant community. Please find below links to Loyola’s law reviews, competition teams, and active student groups.
Student Law Reviews
Loyola Law School students edit and publish three printed law reviews. Staff members and editors receive academic units for successful completion of their writing, editorial and production requirements. Participation as a staff member on one of these publications affords students with an exceptional opportunity to improve and showcase their legal writing skills. Staff members are selected on the basis of academic performance and a writing competition. Day and evening upper-division students are eligible for selection. The boards of editors are chosen from among the staff members, based upon superior contributions, legal research and writing skills, leadership, and demonstrated editorial ability.
