Professor Michael Goldsmith recieves the first Outstanding Trial Lawyer Award in his name at the Orrin Hatch Distinguished Trial Lawyer Lecture Series.

Diagnosed with a deadly but uncommon illness, BYU law professor Michael Goldsmith calls upon the game of his youth to take action. Read his Newsweek article and more here.

The J. Reuben Clark Law Society draws on the philosophy and personal example of the Law School's namesake, J. Reuben Clark Jr., in fulfilling the following mission: We affirm the strength brought to the law by a lawyer's personal religious conviction. We strive through public service and professional excellence to promote fairness and virtue founded upon the rule of law.

The Legacy of J. Reuben Clark captures the compelling story of the life of J. Reuben Clark from his earliest childhood in the farmlands of Grantsville, Utah through his law school education at Columbia and his years of government service, including his work as Ambassador to Mexico. While serving as Ambassador, President Heber J. Grant issued him the call to return to Salt Lake City and serve as a counselor in the First Presidency. The calling came as a surprise as the sixty-one year old Ambassador had never served as a bishop or a stake president. Dutifully, J. Reuben Clark heeded the call and served nearly thirty years as a counselor to three LDS presidents.
