Loyola University Chicago School of Law is a student-focused law center inspired by the Jesuit tradition of academic excellence, intellectual openness, and service to others.

Our mission is:

* to educate students to be responsible and compassionate lawyers, judges, and law-related leaders in an increasingly diverse and interdependent world;
* to prepare graduates who will be ethical advocates for justice and equity, who will lead efforts to dismantle the legal, economic, political, and social structures that generate and sustain racism and all forms of oppression, and who will advance a rule of law that promotes social justice; and
* to contribute to a deeper understanding of law, legal institutions, and systems of oppression through a commitment to transformation, intersectionality, and anti-subordination in our teaching, research, scholarship, and public service.

The Office of Career Services at Loyola University Chicago School of Law works in partnership with the Law School Dean's Office to develop and implement comprehensive career services strategies, shared goals, and priorities. The office builds relationships to strengthen employment networks and opportunities for our students and alumni, and is dedicated to providing law students and alumni with the tools and resources necessary to engage in effective job search strategies.

* Assessing students' interests, aptitudes, and career goals to help them develop a career strategy.
* Reviewing and revising application materials for JD, LLM, and MJ students and alumni.
