Stetson Law has been U.S. News and World Report’s #1 law school for trial advocacy more than 20 time since 1995. In 2026, it ranked Stetson Law #1 in legal writing for the first time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In its newest graduate school rankings, U.S. News & World Report <\/em>has elevated Stetson University College of Law\u2019s legal writing program to the #1 spot in that category for the first time. The College had also retained its status as the #1 destination for trial advocacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the fourth year in a row Stetson<\/a> has ranked #1 in trial advocacy, an honor the College has received 26 of the 31 years it has been given.  Stetson Law earned its #1 law school ranking for legal writing after three consecutive years as the #3 school in this area. The College ranked 91st<\/sup> overall, an eight-point jump from 99th<\/sup> in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is no coincidence that Stetson Law is the top school for advocacy and <\/em>legal writing. Rather, it reflects a sharp focus on ensuring students are ready to practice when they graduate and pass the bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, Stetson Law is the best at teaching what lawyers do every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur #1 rankings in both advocacy and legal writing reflect our values as an institution,\u201d said Stetson Law Dean\u00a0D.<\/strong> Benjamin Barros<\/strong>. \u201cNo matter their practice, all lawyers advocate and write. We are proud to be focused on training our students to be truly excellent lawyers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Currently celebrating its 125th<\/sup> anniversary, Stetson Law sits on a historic campus in Gulfport, Florida. It is Florida\u2019s first law school and part of Stetson University, which has a main campus in DeLand, Florida. To university leadership, these latest honors are emblematic of Stetson\u2019s university-wide culture of career preparedness, which includes Hatter Ready, an undergraduate initiative that emphasizes experiential and immersive learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYet again, our incredible College of Law community has earned its place as a top destination for students who seek the skills and knowledge to not only practice law, but to do so with heart,\u201d said Stetson University President Christopher F. Roellke<\/strong>, PhD. \u201cWe are grateful to U.S. News & World Report <\/em>for this recognition, which is the direct result of Stetson\u2019s steadfast commitment to our students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legal writing: well-rounded, forward-thinking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Through its Institute for the Advancement of Legal Communication<\/a>, the College inspires passion for exploring legal writing\u2019s many aspects, including the ways in which technological factors like generative artificial intelligence are shaping the teaching and practice of legal writing. For institute faculty and leadership, their work has implications that go well beyond legal academia and practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur work sets high standards for excellence within the legal profession,\u201d said Elizabeth Berenguer<\/strong>, who directs The Institute. \u201cWe are honored that our colleagues and U.S. News & World Report<\/em> have recognized Stetson as one of the top legal writing programs in the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

The institute provides robust support for its legal writing faculty while maintaining a strong institutional commitment to research and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twelve full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty members, all leading scholars in the field, teach in the College\u2019s legal writing program. Each year, Stetson Law hosts a distinguished visitor to teach legal research and writing and lead special events related to their scholarship at the law school. Recent visitors include professors Brian Larson<\/a>, Shailini George<\/a>, and Mary Adkins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In spring of 2025, the Institute launched The Hive, a scholarship incubator for legal writing scholars across the nation who are seeking mentorship as they develop their work. Multiple participants have already placed their articles for publication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advocacy: a pillar of campus culture<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For 25 years, Stetson Law\u2019s Center for Advocacy Education (formerly known as the Center for Excellence in Advocacy) has helped Stetson Law remain a passionate, deeply supportive community for anyone eager to strengthen their advocacy skills. This is evident in a campus culture that encourages students to speak up for themselves and others as well as the College\u2019s hosting premier events like the Educating Advocacy Teachers (EATS) conference and the National Pretrial Competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its nationally and internationally recognized trial, dispute resolution, and moot court teams have earned more than 110 national titles, a testament to the center\u2019s enduring impact.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cWe take a forward-looking, holistic approach to advocacy education that integrates emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, to ensure our students are prepared to thrive in a rapidly evolving legal profession,\u201d said Elizabeth Boals<\/strong>, Director of the Center for Advocacy Education. \u201cWe are committed to equipping students with the practical skills and adaptability they need to be practice-ready from day one. We are once again honored by U.S. News<\/em>\u2019 recognition and inspired to continue innovating and building an environment where our students will develop to their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fall 2023, the 16,000-square-foot Advocacy Institute opened its doors. With more practice spaces than any other law school, the impressive facility reflects Stetson\u2019s deep advocacy roots while offering expansive opportunities for scholarship, collaboration, and hands-on training. As home to the Center for Advocacy Education, the Center for Elder Justice, and the Jacobs Law Clinic for Democracy and the Environment, it is a vibrant hub where advocacy can thrive in all its forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
