Founded by students at Loyola Law School, the St. Thomas More Law Honor Society serves the Los Angeles legal education community with a mission centered on ethical reflection and professional excellence. The organization was established to create space for meaningful discussion of the ethical, moral, social, and political challenges that define contemporary legal practice, fostering a culture of thoughtful engagement among law students.
The Society operates as an inclusive resource hub for the entire Loyola Law School community, regardless of membership status. First-year students benefit from dedicated tutoring and mentoring programs that provide essential support during their critical transition to law school. The organization maintains an extensive outline bank and facilitates student panels where peers share knowledge and insights across different subject areas. These collaborative resources reflect the Society's commitment to collective learning and mutual support within the Los Angeles law school community.
Membership in the St. Thomas More Law Honor Society represents recognition of academic excellence and outstanding commitment to legal scholarship. Invitations are extended to upper-division students who achieve top academic performance or demonstrate exceptional dedication to the study of law. Members fulfill a service requirement by contributing their time and expertise as mentors, tutors, panel participants, or outline contributors, ensuring that the organization's resources remain vibrant and accessible.
Through its annual Medallion Award, the Society honors legal professionals and scholars whose work has meaningfully advanced the field of law. This tradition of recognition underscores the organization's values of excellence, integrity, and service. Operating within Loyola Marymount University's Los Angeles campus, the St. Thomas More Law Honor Society cultivates a community where law students engage with substantive legal questions while supporting one another's academic and professional development.
