A Mississippi teenager recently became one of the youngest people ever to graduate from law school after gaining admission in 2023 at age 15.

James “Jimmy” Chilimigras, 18, graduated on Sunday with highest honors from Loyola University New Orleans’ law school, a little more than three years after he earned national news headlines with an entrance exam score that was the highest in a region encompassing his home state, Alabama to the east, and Louisiana to the west.
