Haley Taylor Schlitz has also been a law student at SMU’s Dedman School of Law for 3 years.

On May 13th, 2022 Haley Taylor Schlitz will become the youngest American to graduate from law school at 19 years old. This type of excellence should never go unnoticed and to be frank, it’s greatness is hard to quantify.

According to a press release from SMU’s Dedman School of Law, Haley was accepted to the law school at the age of 16. What is even more astonishing is that Haley was also accepted into 8 other law programs across the country.

What Haley has accomplished academically so far is nothing short of awe inspiring. Here at Blavity where we dedicate our days to highlighting Black greatness, we would be remiss if we didn’t highlight one of our own. So we congratulate Haley Taylor Schlitz on this huge accomplishment. She is a beacon for so many others in our community to follow.

Meet the 16-Year Old Genius
Who Had Just Been Accepted
into 9 Law Schools

Haley Taylor Schiltz, Age 16

Dallas, TX — Haley Taylor Schlitz, a 16-year old teenager who graduated from high school at the age of 13, is now set to attend classes at Southern Methodist University’s Dedman School of Law, one of the nine law schools that accepted her, according to the American Bar Association.

This coming May, Haley will graduate with both an Associate’s degree and a Bachelor’s degree. In the upcoming summer, she will be attending a six-day program with the American Civil Liberties Union in Washington for incoming law students.

Haley was homeschooled in the fifth grade due to her parents’ disapproval with the quality of education in her previous public school.

“I was just being taught to pass the end-of-the-year test to get to the next grade,” she told Texas Lawyer. “I wasn’t being taught to learn.”

What’s more, Haley said she wasn’t allowed to take the test to enter the gifted program in her school. Her parents had to have her tested privately, in which they found out she is indeed gifted.

After homeschooling, she entered high school and graduated at the age of 13. For one year, she began taking classes at Tarrant County College before starting her studies at Texas Woman’s University.

Now, she has been offered a place in nine different law schools into their 1L class. She chose to enroll this fall at Southern Methodist University, one of the top 50 law school in the US.

At first, Haley wanted to become a doctor just like his mother. But after experiencing such rejection to opportunities because of being Black, it “sparked a fire” in her to become a lawyer and help fight inequality. Aside from fighting for educational equality, she also finds intellectual property cool and interesting.
