J. Reuben Clark Law Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The J. Reuben Clark Law Society is an organization of alumni and law school students consisting of over 65 chapters throughout the world. It is named in honor of J. Reuben Clarkthe former Ambassador to Mexico and Under Secretary of State. Although alumni and students of the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University are de facto members of the Society, there is no requirement to attend the Law School or to be a member of the LDS Church. The only requirements for membership are graduation from (or current attendance at) a law school and support of the mission statement, which declares:
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 organization currently claims 14 US Circuit Court of Appeals Judges, 18 US District Court Judges, 4 US Attorneys, 6 US Senators (including the Senate Majority Leader), 9 US Congressman, 17 Fortune 500 Corporate Counselors, more than 85 State Supreme Court, Appellate Court, and District Court judges, and thousands of other practicing attorneys and law students.
The J. Reuben Clark Law Society holds an annual conference for students and practicing attorneys. The 2008 conference was held at Arizona State University and featured former US Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, Judges Janice Brown and Thomas Griffith of the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals, Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor, and Utah Supreme Court Chief Justice Christine Durham. The 2009 conference was held at Harvard University and featured former U.S. Solicitor General and current dean of Pepperdine Law School Ken Starr.
The 2010 JRCLS Conference will be held in Salt Lake City and at the University of Utah.
