Experiential Learning Fair
At LLS, students engage in a rigorous education designed to help them think, reason, analyze, create, and advocate like a lawyer, including unparalleled opportunities to practice these legal skills through programs like law review, dispute resolution, clinics, policy advocacy programs, specialized legal practicum programs, field placements (externships), and trial advocacy, moot court, negotiation and arbitration competition teams. The Experiential Learning Fair, held each semester, is a one-stop opportunity to see the many programs available.
Application InformationTwice a year, Loyola Law School hosts an Experiential Learning Fair for programs available the following semester. Below is a list of all programs participating in the fair.
