About Stetson University College of Law
Founded in 1900, Stetson University College
of Law is Florida’s first law school. With its
main law campus in Gulfport and a satellite
campus in Tampa, Stetson is fully accredited by the
American Bar Association and has been a member of
the Association of American Law Schools since 1931.
With more than 1,000 students, Stetson Law
is ranked first in the nation for trial advocacy
and third for legal writing. In addition to the
juris doctor law degree, Stetson offers certificates
of concentration in advocacy, elder law, and
international law, dual-degree programs for the
J.D./M.B.A., J.D./M.P.H., J.D./M.D., and J.D./
Grado (Spain), and LL.M. degrees in elder law and
international law.
Stetson is home to the Centers for Excellence
in Advocacy, Elder Law, Higher Education Law
and Policy, and International Law, and Institutes
for Biodiversity Law and Policy and Caribbean
Law and Policy. The National Clearinghouse for
Science, Technology and the Law is also based at
Stetson.
Stetson offers international programs in nine
countries, including a fall-semester program in
London, England.
An international leader in advocacy, Stetson
has a long-standing record of championship at
the world, national, regional and state levels of
interscholastic competition. Students can further
expand their practical experience by participating
in clinical or internship opportunities.
Stetson University’s DeLand campus is home
to the College of Arts and Sciences, School of
Business Administration, and School of Music.
The Stetson University Center at Celebration
offers graduate and professional development
programs.
The Symbols of Commencement
Graduates’ Academic Regalia: Academic
disciplines are noted by color; law is represented
as purple. The doctoral gown has bell sleeves with
velvet chevrons on the sleeves and velvet on the
panels. The hood is bound and edged with purple
velvet and lined with green, the official color of
Stetson University as the institution conferring the
degree. The square cap combines the symbolism of
the book and that of a privileged guild. Students
graduating with anticipated honors wear a gold
tassel on the cap, and others wear a purple tassel
denoting the discipline of law.
Students wearing purple cords are LL.M.
graduates. Gold cords are worn by students
graduating with anticipated honors. Student
leaders and named award winners are wearing
green cords. Students wearing blue cords have
earned the William F. Blews Pro Bono Service
Award. Co-Valedictorians are wearing gold stoles.
The Mace: The Stetson University Mace,
used during all commencement ceremonies,
is a ceremonial staff used by many academic
institutions as a symbol of the right to confer
degrees. The Stetson mace, designed by
Episcopalian Canon Edward Nason West of the
Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, New
York, was presented to President J. Ollie Edmunds
in 1956.
The Medallion: The President’s Medallion, worn
at official academic occasions, was first used for
the inauguration of President John E. Johns in
1969. The silver medallion includes the University
Seal embraced by a wreath of laurel. The circular
seal, adopted between 1889 and 1891, bears the
motto Pro Deo et Veritate (“For God and Truth”)
and the Light of Truth resting on the Book of
Wisdom.
