Loyola Center for Conflict Resolution

Amal Sardesai '24

 "Professor Campos really helped me discover my true calling," says Amal. "I knew I wanted to work in the pro bono space, and I have always been interested in mediation. I was given the perfect opportunity. While interning at LCCR, I not only developed and mastered essential lawyering skills but also was able to gain a better understanding of my true interest. We worked on real court cases. You really have a tangible effect on peoples' lives for the better, and you can see the impact you're making on a daily basis."

Immigrant Justice Clinic

Baylor Perry '25

LIJC student Baylor Perry says his experience working in the clinic has been incredibly rewarding. "I've learned so much," says Perry. "One thing I've enjoyed is the holistic approach the clinic takes to clients. The clinic works with social workers and all kinds of community organizations that can assist our clients beyond their legal needs."
