Fall 2023 Consortium Courses - Update. The Fall Quick Guide page has information about classes being offered for upper-level students by certain other area law schools as part of a consortium arrangement we have with them. We now have Loyola's list of Fall classes being offered to Kent students, in addition to the lists from DePaul and UIC posted previously.
