Loyola University New Orleans College of Law is a law school in New Orleans, Louisiana affiliated with Loyola University New Orleans. Loyola's law school opened in 1914. The School of Law was renamed the College of Law with the passage of the PATHWAYS Plan on May 19, 2006. The College of Law is one of only three law schools in the nation to offer curricula in both the Civil Law of Louisiana and the Common Law of the 49 other states (the others are Tulane University Law School and Paul M.
