LMU Loyola Law School Online Instruction Trial Run

03.08.20

As LMU Loyola Law School resumes instruction the week of March 9, 2020, following LLS spring break, it is staging a trial run to help prepare to take academic instruction online should it be required to do so. All LLS students, faculty and staff received email communications on March 8 regarding scheduling changes for the week of March 9. Some important points: 

  • Most LLS classes on Monday, March 9 and Tuesday, March 10 will be postponed. A list of LLS classes affected by the trial run can be found here (further details below).
  • LLS faculty and staff will use Monday and Tuesday to prepare to resume classes, in an online format, by Wednesday.
  • LLS classes will continue as regularly scheduled from Wednesday-Friday but will be held online through Zoom.
  • If LLS students have all classes that are postponed, they do not need to return to campus this week, although they are expected to participate in classroom instruction online Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. 
  • LLS students who are unable to participate in online instruction Wednesday-Friday should review the Interim Attendance & Class Recording Access Policies and complete an Interim Absence Notification Form.
  • The following categories of LLS courses are not included in this trial run. This means the courses listed below will continue to meet on campus at their regularly scheduled time and place throughout the week (Mon-Fri) and will not be moved online: 
    • Experiential courses are not included in this trial run. This includes first-year LRW, Ethical Lawyering, clinical courses, placements/externships, simulation courses, practica, trial advocacy and appellate advocacy, as well as moot court/mock trial/competition teams. (Apart from these, if you have any questions if your class is experiential, you can check for the “E” designation on the Course offerings page here).
