LMU Loyola Law School is located in downtown Los Angeles. Loyola is the closest law school to
state and federal courthouses, major law firms and nonprofit agencies. Due to the prime location,
many of Loyola’s top lawyers and judges frequently visit campus for networking events and
speaking engagements.

Loyola is also at the center of the biggest entertainment hub in the city, L.A. LIVE. Here you will
find five-star restaurants, the Regal cinema, and Crypto.com Arena— home of the Lakers and the
Kings. A short cab ride away, you can find yourself at the Dodger Stadium, home of the World
Champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

Los Angeles is home to major attractions like the world-famous Getty Museum, the Broad, Walt
Disney Concert Hall, Universal Studios, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and Hollywood. The rest of
Los Angeles— its beaches, prime hiking locations and natural wonders— are all easily accessible to
visit during your weekends and days off.

California is one of the most diverse and culturally sophisticated places to study law in the United
States.
