The quality of our program starts with an outstanding student body. Although most of our students call Florida home, many come from around the nation and world. We provide a cutting-edge faculty that is both interdisciplinary in nature and committed to advancing the success of our students. Finally, we offer our location in a city that provides many educational and professional experiences during law school. Tallahassee offers a wide variety of clerking and internship opportunities in its more than 450 law firms, numerous state and federal courts and the legislative and executive branches of government.

If you join our friendly, close-knit student body, you will be among students with extremely strong credentials, who continue being successful after they enroll in our school. Stimulating, day-to-day interactions between our students and faculty characterize the collaborative atmosphere at our law school and often lead to lasting professional relationships after our students graduate. Our dynamic faculty is comprised of scholars who are not only accessible, but also regarded as experts in the national legal community.

Because we provide our students with the foundation of a strong legal education, they continue to excel after graduation. Our alumni often rank first in the state in terms of bar passage rate and 98 percent of the class of 2008 was placed within nine months of graduation. Graduates practice in 49 states and in all major markets in Florida. They are successful in law, business, government and politics.

Due to the success of our students, faculty and graduates, our reputation is rising rapidly. Since 2004, we have climbed 15 spots in our overall ranking in U.S. News & World Report and are in the top tier of American law schools in terms of academic reputation (at 49). U.S. News also ranks our environmental law program as the nation's 11th best.
