Loyola Social Justice Law Clinic |
UNPARALLELED COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL JUSTICE
|
|
|
NOTE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR |
|
|
As our profession faces unprecedented attacks, our clinics give students the opportunity to develop their professional identities in line with a lawyer’s duties under California law to support the Constitution and laws, maintain the respect due the courts, and never to reject, for any personal considerations, the cause of the defenseless or the oppressed. As indicated by the stories below, our students continue to achieve victories and provide critical legal information to our client communities. We thank you for supporting their work.
