List of law clerks of the Supreme Court of the United States from BYU

"In its short history, BYU Law School has been very successful in placing its students in United States Supreme Court clerkships and in attracting faculty who have clerked at the Court. BYU Law currently ranks #13 in the country in Brian Leiter’s Supreme Court Clerkship Placement rankings (2003-2013 terms, “per capita” rate), a high honor considering the schools that accompany us in the rankings."^[1]
