What makes FSU Law unique?
What makes FSU Law unique is the warm and welcoming culture, as well as its location in the capital. I've made great friends here, and being in Tallahassee has allowed me to take advantage of unique opportunities. For example, I watched an oral argument at the Florida Supreme Court to help me prepare for my legal research brief, which was an invaluable experience.

Why should a prospective student choose FSU College of Law?
In addition to the culture and location, I think a student should choose FSU Law because of our clinical opportunities in different areas that allow us to get hands-on experience in various areas of the law. While I haven’t taken a clinic yet, I plan to because it’s a great way to develop practical skills and help me decide what area of law I want to practice.

What has been the best experience you have had at the College of Law thus far?
One of the best experiences I’ve had at FSU Law was judging the Black Law Students Association’s Mock Trial team at the Supreme Court. It was great to see my fellow classmates practice trial advocacy and provide feedback in a meaningful way.
