Why should I hire a BYU law student or graduate?
Our graduates are some of the best and brightest in the country. They come from all fifty states and some foreign countries. Prior to coming to law school, they excelled academically. The LSAT and GPA's for our entering classes are comparable to the top schools in the country.(Click here for a comparison chart). Perhaps the most unique thing about BYU law students is their foreign language ability. Seventy-Five percent of our students fluently speak a second language. In any one class, you will typically find that our students speak approximately 40 languages including Spanish, German, French, Chinese, Japanese and Russian. Additionally, many of our students have lived overseas and have learned to interact with cultures other than their own native culture. While they are in law school, our students hone their legal skills by participating in one of three law journals or in our nationally-ranked moot court or trial advocacy programs. These attributes, in addition to instruction from one of the top faculties in the county, make our students attractive candidates for any position.

Do you charge any fees to interview on campus?
No. But voluntary contributions are welcome.

How do I post a job notice?

Regardless of their circumstances, they look to the Career Services Office as one means to connect with employers. By posting a job notice with us, interested alumni will be aware of your employment needs.
