“The University of Utah became home to me during my undergrad, so it’s only fitting I continue my education here. I am most excited to participate in the Pro Bono Initiative and take part in the student organizations. I feel honored to be a member of this nationally ranked school while serving the community that means the most to me. The mountains being my backyard is a plus, too!” - Nichole, incoming law student

She is researching what judicial law clerks do, how funding is obtained for law clerks, the processes for hiring and training clerks, the challenges tribal justices face, and more.

Take a look at our Stories to learn more about Kari and her summer position.

Great coworkers, a supportive boss, and a company you believe in – what more could you want in a summer job?

Rising 2L Amanda Gray is spending her summer working for Vista Outdoor Inc., a leading global designer, manufacturer, and marketer of outdoor sports and recreation products.

Amanda is getting experience with mergers, acquisitions, contracts, intellectual property, and much more. She also played a role in preparing Vista’s Annual Proxy Statement, which was recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Moot court competitions -- a chance for law students to show off their legal skills.

Students at the S.J. Quinney College of Law spent months researching, drafting, and arguing complex legal issues in various fields of law. Their hard work paid off during the moot court competitions, where they proudly represented our school and received a variety of prestigious awards.

Check out our Stories to read about the successes of the 12+ SJQ moot court teams over the past school year.

In 2018, the S.J. Quinney College of Law Young Alumni Association created the Barbara Dickey Scholarship to honor retiring Dean of Students Barbara J Dickey after her 20 years of service to the law school.

This unique scholarship is awarded to a graduating student who didn't qualify for traditional scholarships but excelled in extracurricular activities, volunteer participation, and other relevant experiences outside the classroom.

Together, we want to raise $3,500 to help new lawyers get their careers started off on the right foot.

"As law students and future lawyers, we believe the legal profession will not live up to its essential ideals — preserving fairness, equality and justice — unless and until the profession’s demographics reflect our communities."

Three law students spent a semester analyzing data, studying the causes and consequences of the legal field's lack of diversity, and learning about best practices to increase diversity. This project was a part of the Justice Lab clinic, a course where students learn to be lawyers while solving real legal, policy, and practical problems for client organizations.

Sarah Martinez, Jacqueline Rosen, and Ryan Williams discuss their findings in an op-ed in The Salt Lake Tribune. Check out our stories for the link.

Go Utes!” - Grace, incoming 1L

Proud to be ranked #2…in elevation!
🏔
Just for fun, the Tax Prof Blog ranked the top 50 law schools based on elevation. And the S.J. Quinney College of Law took the second spot, right behind the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Our location in the Rocky Mountains allows our students to have access to world-class skiing, hiking, and more thrilling outdoor recreation while still benefitting from the opportunities of a nearby metropolitan area. It truly is the perfect environment for a law school.
