Lawyers and the legal profession have always been at the forefront of political, economic and social change. The present is no exception. Indeed, it is a particularly challenging and exciting time to contemplate a legal education.
As you consider the pursuit of a legal education and a career in law, the first major decision you will face is the choice of a law school. The basic curriculum and the traditional three year time period for legal education have remained very constant for over a century. Today, it is more important than ever that a law school take maximum advantage of this limited time to prepare its graduates to enter the profession well equipped.
Since its founding Florida Coastal School of Law (FCSL) has placed the student at the center of the institution’s activities. At FCSL the study of law includes: acquiring a comprehensive knowledge of the law and an understanding of the legal system and developing the critical thinking and lawyering skills essential to the practice of law. Consistently focusing on the students insures the proper balance of each of these components. We believe that: excellence in teaching, including an emphasis on rigor; innovative use of technology in the classroom; infusion of skills training and multi-culturalism into traditional courses; frequent student and faculty assessment with opportunity for feedback; and valuing listening and responding to student needs are essential hallmarks of a successful legal education. We further believe that this approach is essential to success on the bar exam and will better position our graduates to be successful and inspirational in their legal careers.
