Elder Law Initiative
Loyola created the Elder Law Initiative in July 2000 to help address the growing need for attorneys who have an understanding of elder law issues. The primary goals of the Initiative are to acquaint students with the unique legal needs of the elderly and to prepare students to serve the legal needs of the elderly throughout their careers.
In addition, the Elder Law Initiative, a component of the Beazley Institute for Health Law and Policy, serves the elderly community in Illinois enhancing faculty expertise on elder issues by consolidating and further developing Loyola's existing strengths on elder issues. The Initiative prepares students to advocate on behalf of the elderly as well as to litigate.
Initial funding for the Elder Law Initiative was provided by John Goedart, Loyola University Chicago School of Law, '40. Additional funding comes from the Retirement Research Foundation and an Illinois First Grant.
