‘I’m going to law school!’

No longer can the law be considered a structure for the ‘good old boys.’ Having a large number of women enroll in law school not only changes the law school atmosphere, it changes the legal culture. The culture changes as it is forced to be more inclusive of everyone. If you have any interest in the law, pursue your dreams. The law is in dire need of women. Without women, there is no process, and the rights and voices of millions go unheard. There will be many obstacles, but it is of the utmost importance that women also participate in the legal system as their male counterparts do.

— Kurt London, a 2016 graduate of BYU Law, commenting on the need for more women to enroll in law school so they can bring their unique experiences to the table. For the first time in the history of the school, there are currently more women enrolled at BYU Law than their male counterparts.
