Academies

The BYU Law Academies Program provides students who have just completed their first year of law school with world-class skills training delivered by elite practitioners working in partnership with BYU Law faculty. Academies take place at top-tier law firms throughout the country and allow students to experience high-level law practice using an intensive simulation-based approach. Many Academies also introduce students to important legal markets throughout the country.

Each Academy is intense and demanding. The Law School thus has high expectations for Academy participants, all of whom act as ambassadors for BYU Law as they interact with the high-level practitioners volunteering their time to teach our students.

1L Academies will take place between Friday, April 24, and Saturday, May 2, 2026.
