THE PROGRAM OF STUDIES
J. Reuben Clark Law School
Students admitted to the highly competitive programs of the Law School receive a breadth and depth of training that prepares them to function in the wide range of activities that occupy the professional lawyer's life. Students gain firsthand experience with a variety of teaching and learning methods, among them Socratic or inductive teaching, problem solving, seminars, individual research, and clinical experience.
The specific objective of the curriculum is to maximize the student's mastery of legal reasoning and legal method—in addition to teaching a core of the basic substantive rules of law and imparting an appreciation for its institutions and traditions.
Students are taught to analyze complex factual situations; to separate the relevant from the irrelevant; and to reason inductively, deductively, and by analogy. Students are also schooled in the arts of written and oral advocacy.
Legal education at this school does not include the sponsorship of particular political objectives, except as may flow from loyalty to the United States Constitution and from a commitment to the highest ideals of personal character and individual liberty. These make up the foundation upon which an enduring legal system must rest.
Two degrees are offered through the J. Reuben Clark Law School: Law—JD and Comparative Law—LLM. The university has also approved programs whereby qualified students can obtain a concurrent master's degree in business administration, public administration, accountancy, organizational behavior, or education or a doctorate in education while pursuing a law degree.
The Law School selects approximately 150 students each year for admission to the new class. The juris doctorate (JD) takes three years (six regular semesters) in residence to complete. The LLM students receive their degree on completion of 24 credit hours earned during at least two semesters in residence.
Law—JD
The J. Reuben Clark Law School offers a six-semester course of graduate professional study leading to the juris doctorate (JD) degree. Additional information about legal education, admissions standards, and procedures— including information about the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) and registration with the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS)—can be obtained from the J. Reuben Clark Law School Bulletin, which is available through the admissions office of the Law School.

—A personal statement.
Requirements for Degree.
Comparative Law—LLM
The J. Reuben Clark Law School created the Master of Law (LLM) Program in 1988 to provide an opportunity for lawyers trained in jurisdictions outside the United States to engage in a comparative study of the U.S. legal system with that of their home country. The program provides maximum exposure to the U.S. legal system and frequent interaction between master of law students and students seeking the juris doctorate degree. Students obtain a solid foundation in the basic principles of United States law while being allowed the flexibility to pursue personal academic interests. To ensure a superior educational experience for students in the program, admission is limited to eight applicants per year.
The master of law (LLM) degree is conferred upon successful completion of a minimum 24 credit hours earned during at least two semesters in residence following completion of a JD degree or its equivalent outside the United States.
Admission and Entry.
—Completed application on the official Law School application form.
—Check or money order for $30 payable to Brigham Young University. (This is an application fee and is neither refundable nor credited toward tuition.)
—Three completed evaluations from (1) two faculty members who taught the applicant in law school courses and (2) one other person who has supervised the applicant's academic or professional work or service.
—Report of the applicant's interview with his or her bishop, clergy, or judge of a court of general jurisdiction indicating the applicant's willingness to comply with the BYU Honor Code.
—Official transcripts of the applicant's academic record listing courses and corresponding grades and, if available, a statement of rank in class, the size of the class, and an explanation of the grading system used by the school. The official transcript and statement of rank must be submitted in English.
—If English is not the applicant's native language, reports of the TOEFL and TSE reports. A TOEFL score of at least 590 is required for admission to the program. If an applicant's TOEFL score is inadequate, he or she may be considered for conditional acceptance subject to successfully completing an intensive language course in an American university prior to beginning the program.
—Written statement explaining the applicant's reasons for wanting to pursue postgraduate studies in law and the applicant's career plans.
—Official verification of admission to the practice of law in the applicant's native country.
—Proof of the applicant's financial capabiltiy to be self-supporting while enrolled in the Law School.
Requirements for Degree.
Joint Master's Degrees— JD/MBA, JD/MPA, JD/MAcc, JD/MOB
Joint degrees with the JD are offered in business administration, public administration, accountancy, and organizational behavior in a duration of four academic years. The law program is ordinarily three years; the other programs are two. The four-year combination is possible because of subject areas of common interest to the programs. The first year is ordinarily spent in the Law School, the second year is devoted to the first two semesters of regular MBA, MPA, MAcc, or MOB programs, and the last two years are arranged to suit individual needs above the core requirements. Further inquiries can be sent to the Law School or to the Marriott School of Management (for MBA, MPA, MAcc, and MOB programs). Address MSM correspondence to Marriott School of Management, 730 TNRB, Provo, UT 84602-3113.
Note: Students entering one of the joint programs must meet the admission requirements of each degree.
Joint Education Degrees— JD/MEd, JD/EdD
The Law School and the McKay School of Education have established the joint JD degree and either a master of education or a doctor of education. The Law School will accept 6 hours of credit obtained in the master's program, or 9 hours of credit obtained in the doctoral program toward the JD degree. Direct inquiries to the Law School, not the McKay School of Education.
Note: Participants must meet the admission standards of each degree.
Joint Programs—JD/Master's
In special cases the Law School will accept credit earned in other graduate programs offered by the university. The Law School has details about specific programs.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
A number of scholarships and endowed awards are available to law students, as well as a variety of low- interest loans. Students interested in these opportunities should inquire at the Law School and the BYU Financial Aid Office.
Tuition and Fees. Tuition and fees must be paid before or at the time of registration. Since more than 50 percent of the cost of operating the Law School comes from the tithes of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, students and the families of students who are tithe-paying members have already made a significant contribution to the university and are thus charged a lower tuition fee than nonmembers. This disparity is similar to the higher tuition charged by law schools of state universities to nonresidents.
Semester tuition: $2,380 LDS
$3,570 non-LDS
RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNITIES
J. Reuben Clark Law Building. One of the finest university law school facilities in the country, the J. Reuben Clark Law Building is attractively located on the eastern edge of the campus. Its five floors house nine classrooms, three seminar rooms, a student commons area, a student lunchroom, and ample spaces for student organizations and activities, as well as faculty offices and a law library.
Howard W. Hunter Law Library. Ranking now among the nation's largest law libraries, the Howard W. Hunter Law Library contains more than 400,000 volumes or equivalents available for student and faculty use. Besides the latest in technological facilities and services, the library also contains individual study carrels with hookups for computer access to networks. Law students also have access to the holdings in the university library, the Harold B. Lee Library.
Cocurricular Programs. In addition to the Brigham Young University Law Review, law students publish the BYU Journal of Public Law and the Brigham Young University Education and Law Journal and participate in board of advocates and trial advocacy programs. The cocurricular programs extend law review experience to a larger number of students than would be possible through a single journal.
Other Special Programs. Students obtain experience in trial and appellate practice patterned after the old English Inns through the American Inn of Court I. Minority students may participate in annual summer institutes sponsored by the Council on Legal Education Opportunity and a scholarship program in law for American Indians funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Student Organizations. Within the Law School, students may participate in a number of organizations, among them the Student Bar Association, the Women's Law Forum, the Diversity Committee, the Minority Law Students Association, the Native American Law Students Association, the Natural Resources Law Forum, the Family Law Society, the Alternative Dispute Resolution Society, the Government and Politics Legal Society, the International and Comparative Law Society, the Intellectual Property Law Association, the Public Interest Law Foundation, the Federalist Society, and the Civil Rights Law Association. There is a chapter of a legal fraternity on campus and a Law Partners organization for spouses of married law students.
