Loyola University Chicago School of Law

What Loyola University Chicago School of Law does

Loyola University Chicago School of Law is the law school of Loyola University Chicago, a private Jesuit Catholic university founded in 1870. The School of Law, established in 1908 per firmographics, operates within a broader university system comprising 14 colleges and schools across four primary sites: the Lake Shore Campus at 1032 W. Sheridan Rd., Chicago; the Water Tower Campus in downtown Chicago; the Health Sciences Campus in Maywood; and the John Felice Rome Center in Italy. The School offers Juris Doctor (JD) and Master of Jurisprudence (MJ) degrees through both on-campus and online modalities, organized around three specialized centers: the Beazley Institute for Health Law and Policy (which delivers online MJ degrees to working health-law professionals), the Civitas ChildLaw Center, and the Center for the Human Rights of Children.

The school's instructional and operational technology stack is anchored by the Sakai learning management system for course delivery, with the Office of Online Learning also supporting D2L Brightspace. Microsoft 365 provides enterprise collaboration (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneNote). Adjacent platforms include Zoom for synchronous online instruction, Panopto for video content management, SharePoint for collaborative documents, and Navigate (EAB) for student advising. The Office of Global and Community Engagement and Study Abroad Office extend program delivery internationally through the John Felice Rome Center and partner institutions. The institution maintains a Generative AI Feature Catalog managed by Learning Technologies & Innovation, learning analytics infrastructure available to faculty, and automated workflows for admissions, registration, financial-aid, and housing administration. Documented compliance regimes include FERPA, GDPR, COPPA, HIPAA/HITECH, and PCI DSS.

The school's revenue model is embedded within a private, non-profit university structure funded through tuition (graduate and professional tuition is differentiated from undergraduate, with financial aid, scholarships, and grants available), donations, and external grants-most notably a $51 million grant supporting the Institute for Translational Medicine and a $6 million Holistic Immigration Hub that integrates the law school with health, education, public health, and social work disciplines. Ancillary revenue flows from the broader 14-school ecosystem, including the Loyola University Health System. Customers include JD candidates, MJ candidates (with the Beazley Institute specifically serving health-law professionals in online programs), the institution's faculty research enterprise, and external partners engaging the law centers on policy and advocacy work.
