J. Reuben Clark Law School
Built in 1975
The Law school is the first of our two professional schools. The founding dean of the law school was Rex Lee, our past university president. At one time, he was the Solicitor General of the United States and argued more than 60 cases before the Supreme Court.
The law school was started in 1973 and is now ranked in the top 45 law schools nationally. It is a difficult to program to be accepted to, with only 150 students admitted each year. BYU Law School was recently ranked #1 in the country for ‘Best Value Law School’ due to the high quality educational opportunities and low tuition rates. The Law School houses the International Center for Law and Religious Studies.
