From Wikipedia, the
free encyclopedia Loyola Law
School is the law school of Loyola Marymount University, a private Jesuit
school in Los Angeles, California. Loyola was established in 1920. Like
Loyola University Chicago School of Law and Loyola University New Orleans
College of Law (separate and unaffiliated institutions), it is named in
honor of St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits. Its Frank Gehry-designed
campus is located in the Pico-Union neighborhood just west of downtown Los
Angeles, and is separate from the Westchester main university campus.

Distinct from most law schools, which typically reside in one or two
centralized buildings, Loyola has a separate law school campus. The campus,
sitting on a full city block just west of downtown Los Angeles, is made up
of an open central plaza surrounded by several contemporary buildings
designed by Frank Gehry.[10] Its recently renovated library is one of the
largest private law libraries in the western U.S., with a collection of
nearly 560,000 volumes.[11]
Including its day and evening J.D. programs, Loyola has the largest and most
diverse student enrollment of any California law school, and it prides
itself in its civic duties. It was the first California law school with a
pro bono graduation requirement,[12] under which students perform 40 hours
of pro bono work.[13] After Hurricane Katrina, Loyola was also one of a
handful of schools to open its doors to students of law schools in New
Orleans who were forced to relocate for a period of time after the
hurricane.[14]
