Stetson’s commitment to teaching advocacy is unmatched. Beyond the typical courses in trial procedure
found at most law schools, you’ll discover a comprehensive range of advocacy electives, clinical
programs, intramural tournaments and interscholastic competition teams, as well as certificates of
concentration.

performances on our nationally and internationally lauded advocacy teams.

Stetson has ranked No. 1 in the nation 20 times. No other law school even comes close.
• Moot Court Board consistently places at or near the top in appellate advocacy competitions, winning
team awards, as well as best oralist and best brief awards

client counseling, negotiation, mediation, and arbitration

“Stetson provided me with a well-rounded and
worthwhile law school experience. Between
thought-provoking academic courses, practical legal
externships and engaging student organizations, I had
numerous opportunities to develop the skills needed to
advance my legal career.”
