“Rex E. Lee, left, who was appointed first dean of the J. Reuben Clark Law School in November, 1971, and Bruce C. Hafen, assistant to the president, who was also involved in the organization of the new Law School, examine a model of the J. Reuben Clark Law School Building. Plans to establish the Law School at BYU were announced by President Harold B. Lee, then first counselor in the First Presidency of the Church, at an assembly on March 9, 1971, in the George Albert Smith Fieldhouse. Resignation of President Ernest L. Wilkinson was announced at the same meeting. The first law students were admitted and classes began in the autumn semester of 1973. The school will eventually have an enrollment of 500.” | Source:
