LMU Loyola Law School

LMU Loyola Law School opened its doors more than a century ago as an evening program. The Hybrid Juris Doctor (JD) Evening Program builds on this legacy of excellence, combining the best of traditional and innovative legal education. Requiring a regular commitment of one night a week on campus, the program integrates synchronous and structured on-demand content to enrich both classroom learning and practical training.

The Hybrid JD Program is designed to meet its students where they are. Current students maintain full-time jobs, raise families and volunteer in their community - sometimes all at once. Hybrid JD students regularly participate in on-campus student organizations and contribute to one of the law school’s prestigious law reviews. Loyola alumni are among the most successful and prominent members of the legal profession, rising to high ranks in business, government and the judiciary.

Fabricio Lopez ’04 – assistant general counsel at The Walt Disney Company – admires lawyers who earned their degree through an evening law program. “If you can manage to be good at your job and do well at night school, that tells me a lot about your work ethic and your commitment,” he said, noting two recent general counsels of Disney went to law school in the evening.

Home to 20-plus live-client clinics, Loyola Law School has designed practical training opportunities specifically for the needs of Hybrid JD students. These include offerings in the Workers’ Rights Clinic and the Loyola Justice for Atrocities Clinic (LJAC), which offers a one-semester hybrid option focused on representing Holocaust victims and their families seeking reparations.

“With my travel schedule, it’s nearly impossible to get a traditional internship,” said Timothy Brewster ‘26, a professional volleyball player. “But LJAC fills that gap by offering a law firm-like environment where I can develop critical legal skills remotely.”
