A MESSAGE FROM DEAN BENJAMIN BARROS Congratulations on recognizing the law as your calling. It’s a profession with countless potential avenues – and choosing the right law school is a key first step. The right place for you is one that aligns with your vision of your successful future self. This could mean coursework related to your interests, opportunities to gain experience, or proximity to a sector in which you aspire to work. With its many areas of study, distinguished faculty, experiential learning opportunities, and student activities, Stetson Law offers an array of tools for sharpening your skills while forging your own career path. It’s a collaborative space where students can balance their rigorous studies with all the Tampa Bay region’s offerings, from world-famous beaches to sparkling city centers. If you share our passion for exploring the law in a dynamic setting, we invite you to join us at Stetson Law. We hope you will join us as a future Stetson Lawyer.
1. You will not only be taught, but also mentored and guided toward achieving your goals. 2. You will be practice-ready on day one after graduation, thanks to our commitment to experiential learning. 3. You will be attending the law school that has what is arguably the most beautiful campus in the country.
A UNIQUE CAMPUS
Stetson Law’s campus is unique in two ways. First, you can’t help but notice its breathtaking beauty. It is a Mediterranean Revival-style landmark, just minutes from the beach. Second, the entire 21-acre, palm-lined campus is devoted entirely to the law school. Unlike other institutions where the law school may be a building or two that are part of a larger campus, at Stetson Law, everyone is here for the same reason, sharing the same focus – the study of law. At Stetson, community is the operative word. We are a law school that is committed to our students, to taking an interest in their lives, and to helping them achieve their goals. Our faculty move beyond the theoretical to guide students through the real-world experiences they will need to successfully practice law. We are a community dedicated to one another’s success.
ACCESSIBLE FACULTY
Yes, you will face a demanding curriculum, but you will always have support from our faculty. You will be regarded as a member of the legal profession beginning on your first day of law school. As such, you will consistently be challenged to meet your full potential. But, you will also be guided and nurtured throughout your tenure at Stetson.
A FOCUS ON PROFESSIONALISM
Stetson Law distinguishes itself not only in the kind of lawyers who graduate from here, but also the kind of people. They know the law, but they also know how to conduct themselves professionally, how to be respectful of all members of our community, and how to be responsible and accountable. Our graduates stand out within the profession and the community.

I had my very first jury trial at the Prosecution Clinic last week, and it was such an incredible and surreal experience. Words cannot describe how I felt that day. It was definitely reassurance that this is where I want to start my legal career, and that everything I have done and worked toward the past two years is finally within reach! 10/10 times I recommend this clinic to anyone who has an interest in trial experience, or specifically wants to become a prosecutor.

All admitted students are considered for scholarships; no special application is required.

Applicants who wish for their unique circumstances and backgrounds to be considered may include an addendum with their application. Scholarships are awarded on a rolling basis. For Fall 2023, 89.8% of incoming students received a scholarship ranging from partial to full tuition. Detailed information about the selection process, scholarship retention data, and scholarships from Stetson and outside sources can be found at stetson.edu/lawfinaid.

Tuition, Costs, and Living Expenses
Living Expenses
Tuition and Costs
Living expense budget projections based on doubleoccupancy living arrangements are available at stetson.edu/lawfinaid. Students who complete the FAFSA will be offered a financial aid package to cover the full cost of attendance (including living expenses), although many students choose not to accept the full amount of loan aid offered. Our estimated cost of attendance is based on local living expense averages. Students should reduce expenses wherever possible.
The cost of a legal education includes tuition, fees, books and supplies, housing and food, transportation, and personal expenses. The Office of Student Financial Planning develops student budgets that estimate an individual student’s projected educational expenses for the academic year. These budgets govern the total amount of aid (loans or a combination of scholarships and loans) that are available to a student in any given year. For more information about tuition, fees, and estimated cost of attendance at Stetson, please visit stetson.edu/law/estimated-budget
