Founders Hall houses the Loyola Social Justice Law Clinic, an impressive aggregation of Loyola’s criminal defense, immigration, post-conviction relief and other clinics focused on important issues under one roof. Thanks to a dramatic renovation of nearly 23,000 square feet of Loyola’s Founders Hall, the new LSJLC houses together for the first time multiple Law School clinics: the Center for the Study of Law & Genocide, Collateral Consequences of Conviction Justice Project, International Human Rights Clinic, Loyola Immigrant Justice Clinic, Juvenile Innocence and Fair Sentencing Clinic, Juvenile Justice Clinic, and Youth Justice Education Clinic, to name just a few.
