For the fourth consecutive year, a BYU Law student has won the Law360 Distinguished Legal Writing Award known as the Burton Award. This year’s winner is Morgan Bronson, who is being recognized for her article, “Context in Context”: The Collapse of Title IX's Substantial Control Requirement, 50 BYU L. Rev. 1725 (2025).
Presented by the Burton Foundation in association with Law360 and the Library of Congress, the Burton Award honors authors of legal articles that demonstrate mastery of the law with writing that is creative, cogent and concise.
Morgan Bronson was Editor-in-Chief of the BYU Law Review, and she is currently a law clerk for Judge Danielle J. Forrest of the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. BYU Law’s Advanced Writing Center fosters student publication, resulting in a growing number of BYU Law students publishing articles in national law journals and thus qualifying for consideration for the Burton Award.
