Prof.D in Law

The Juris Doctor is the professional law degree offered by Loyola's College of Law in New Orleans. The college prepares graduates to practice with excellence in Louisiana, elsewhere in the United States and abroad, whether they start businesses, advocate for vulnerable clients or work on environmental policy. Students can focus on one of three major areas. Public Interest Law offers practical experience helping meet legal needs among low-income residents. Environmental Law is supported by a dedicated environmental law center, where students represent non-profit and community clients. International Law builds on the school's dual curricula in common and civil law traditions. A separate requirements page describes the full curriculum for the degree. Prospective students should consult the program page and its linked requirements for current course listings and application steps, because details can change from one academic year to the next.
