Beverly Hills attorneys Gary A. Dordick and Nava Dordick have donated $8 million to the Loyola Law School to establish the Dordick Family Trial Advocacy Fund. In gratitude and recognition, Loyola Marymount University will rename the building housing its advocacy programs as the Dordick Family Trial Advocacy Center during a ceremony at 6 p.m. on Sept. 21.
“We are very excited about it,” Gary Dordick said. “I think it’s a tremendous honor that they agreed to use the funds for the Trial Advocacy Fund and are putting our name on the building. It stands for hard work, integrity and inclusivity.”
The Loyola Law School Dordick Family Trial Advocacy Fund will support the school’s award-winning advocacy programs, which provide students with real-world trial training and experience. The center houses mock courtrooms, where students litigate cases based on real-life situations. The innovative curricula are designed to foster ethical advocacy.
“Educating with purpose, LMU Loyola Law School is a premier law school in L.A. and the nation, and we are fortunate to have Nava and Gary as our partners,” LMU president Timothy Snyder said. “I am grateful for the Dordick family’s generosity and inspired by their vision for the future of legal education. This gift will have a transformative impact on our students, faculty and the expansion of our marquee advocacy programs.”
Nava Dordick, Gary’s wife, graduated from Loyola Law School in May. Their daughter Taylor Dordick is also a Loyola Law School alumna. The Dordicks’ gift will specifically establish a newly endowed fund for academic programming, scholarships, awards and faculty and staff support.
“We’ve had two family members graduate from there and I got to know more about their exceptional programs and wanted to be more involved,” Gary Dordick added.
Loyola Law School’s advocacy programs have been ranked in the top 10 nationwide by U.S. News and World Report, and the school’s Trial Advocacy Program was ranked fifth in the nation in 2023. Loyola Law School is ranked No. 60 in the 2023 U.S. News and World Report on Best Law Schools.

Dordick, who grew up in Beverly Hills, founded Dordick Law Corporation in 1987. Nava Dordick serves as chief financial officer and administrator. Taylor, as well as the Dordicks’ son Dylan and daughter Michelle, are also attorneys and work at the family law firm. The Dordick Law Corporation primarily litigates catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. The Dordicks’ gift is their largest to date and combines their interests in philanthropy, education and the law.
“Our firm works hard to provide the best possible legal representation to clients who have suffered enormous losses, and we couldn’t do that without the preparation of an excellent legal education,” Dordick added. “Loyola Law School is known for producing great trial lawyers and we want to ensure that future generations of law students, no matter their background, have access to a Loyola Law School education so they can help build a better world.”
“I am beyond thrilled by the Dordicks’ generosity,” Loyola Law School interim dean and senior vice president Brietta Clark said. “A gift of this magnitude provides Loyola Law School an extraordinary foundation of support as we continue to grow Loyola Law School’s top-ranked advocacy programs and shape the diverse legal profession of the future.”
