— Jimmy Chilimigras, recent summa cum laude graduate of Loyola University New Orleans Law School, in comments given to CBS Affiliate WWL-TVregarding the conclusion of his university career in law at only 18 years old. He is the first to graduate from Loyola Law with five concentration certificates (tax law, social justice, immigration and citizenship law, international legal studies, technology and entrepreneurship). Chilimigras is one of the youngest people in the country to earn a law degree. Although the Mississippi native is too young to take the bar exam in his home state, Chilimigras will still take the bar exam this summer, before heading to Northwestern Law to pursue an LLM in taxation.
