Unveiling The 2025 FSU College of Law Digital Magazine

Our 2025 FSU College of Law Digital Magazine provides students and curious readers with insight into the intersection of Business Law and AI, a theme that has been a focus at FSU Law and in the legal industry. From evolving AI regulations to real-world applications and tips for future lawyers looking to start a career in Business Law, we curated guidelines and stories from our law alumni who share their firsthand experiences from the field—how they’re working with AI, advising businesses, shaping policy, and solving legal challenges including Florida Bar President Sia Baker-Barnes (’00), Celeste Gaines (’15), Pat Gleason (’76), Craig Glidden (’83), and Ben Odom (’04), among others, illustrating the diverse and influential paths our graduates continue to forge.

Their stories connect theory to practice and show what’s possible after graduation, offering both inspiration and practical guidance. Whether you’re exploring career paths, sharpening your legal or business thinking, or simply staying ahead of change, this magazine gives you the confidence to navigate a rapidly evolving professional landscape.

This issue also reflects a year of meaningful progress. We celebrated national recognition of our students, faculty, centers, and clinics, as well as continued momentum in the rankings. The magazine brings these milestones together with reflections on the past year, including top news stories, memorable moments captured in photos, tributes to those we lost, Class Notes, and more.

Explore the 2025 FSU Law Magazine as we highlight our successes, honor those we have lost, and reflect on how FSU Law continues to prepare students, engage scholars, and empower alumni to lead and thrive in a rapidly evolving legal landscape.
