Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the second law of the black holes in Lovelock gravity sourced by a conformally coupled scalar field under the first-order approximation when the perturbation matter fields satisfy the null energy condition. First of all, we show that the Wald entropy of this theory does not obey the linearized second law for the scalar-hairy Lovelock gravity which contains the higher curvature terms even if we replace the gravitational part of Wald entropy with Jacobson-Myers (JM) entropy. This implies that we cannot naively add the scalar field term of the Wald entropy to the JM entropy of the purely Lovelock gravity to get a valid linearized second law. By rescaling the metric, the action of the scalar field can be written as a purely Lovelock action with another metric. Using this property, by analogy with the JM entropy of the purely Lovelock gravity, we introduce a new formula of the entropy in the scalar-hairy Lovelock gravity. Then, we show that this new JM entropy increases along the event horizon for Vaidya-like black hole solutions and therefore it obeys a linearized second law. Moreover, we show that different from the entropy in $F($Riemann$)$ gravity, the difference between the JM entropy and Wald entropy also contains some additional corrections from the scalar field.
