J. Reuben Clark Building (JRCB)

The building was completed in 1973 to house the J. Reuben Clark Law School, named for J. Reuben Clark Jr., an influential lawyer and author who served as U.S. ambassador to Mexico and as counselor in the First Presidency of the Church. The school's state-of-the-art Howard W. Hunter Law Library contains more than 330,000 volumes. The Law School has a three-year program that enrolls approximately 450 students (150 new students are admitted annually, selected from 1,500 to 2,000 applicants). More than 100 law firms and legal employers visit BYU each year to recruit graduates.
