STETSON LAW Florida’s First Law School, Tampa Bay

2023-2024

Discover the Stetson Difference

From the moment visitors set foot on our campus, they sense this is a different kind of place. Stetson is more than a law school. We are a community dedicated to our students and devoted to seeing their success. We are caring. We are passionate. We will challenge you every day to reach your potential. While at Stetson Law, there are three things you can count on:Y

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.

A Culture Defined by Community

A BOND WITH OUR NEIGHBORS

Our concept of community extends beyond the boundaries of our campus.

Stetson’s commitment to community service includes a 60-hour pro bono requirement for all students to enhance their law school experience.

A COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION In its steadfast dedication to justice, diversity, and inclusiveness, Stetson Law leads the charge in promoting human dignity and inclusive education on campus and throughout the community.

St. Pete Truth Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) Center The college co-founded and co-leads this consortium of higher education schools in the St. Petersburg area, which partners with students and others to engage in racial equity education and initiatives on campus and throughout the local community.

Supporting the LGBTQ+ Community In 2021, Stetson’s Lambda Legal Society joined the National LGBT Bar Association, and the college engages in multiple local partnerships throughout Tampa Bay’s diverse and inclusive communities that are awardwinning for supporting LGBTQ+ rights.

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.

Financial Planning Entering Student Scholarships Stetson Law awards multiyear scholarships to selected entering students. All admitted students are considered for scholarships; no special application is required. Scholarships are awarded based on academic excellence, a range of other personal accomplishments and experiences, and the ability to further the mission of the College of Law. 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.

Scholarships to recognize public service are also available through endowed and university funds.

Stetson offers a full-tuition scholarship for a student entering his or her final year with a record of public service who plans to continue that path for three years after graduation.

Stetson participates in the Veterans Affairs Yellow Ribbon Program, which offers tuition assistance to student veterans or eligible dependents.

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

Stetson financial planning counselors are ready to offer support via Teams, by phone, or in person, including some designated evening hours.
