Stetson LAW

Really cool architecture

I received the J.D. degree from Stetson University College of Law in 1981. It was an excellent experience, and as far as I know, the school has maintained the same high academic standard. The current cost of tuition takes my breath away, though, because in my last year there (1980-1981), the cost of tuition for the entire year was $3,550.00.

A really fine law school with a great student-oriented academic atmosphere. Stetson emphasizes basic advocacy and legal writing skills important to every attorney. Navigating with the controls, you can enjoy some excellent views of Stetson University's beautiful and historic St. Petersburg campus. Knowing the layout of the campus helps. Initially you face a complex of red tiled historical stucco buildings. The tower with gargoyles is on the left. These buildings once formed the luxuious Hotel Rolyat (Taylor spelled backwards). Rolyat was built in the early 1920s as a luxurious resort. Its success was short-lived and it suffered bankruptcy. The interior's very spacious and beautiful large banquet and ballrooms can't be seen. Many of the original decorations and original woodwork remain, as well as some furnishings, and paintings for the public and students to enjoy. The hotel was converted to a school by the FL Military Academy. Stetson Law, Florida's first law school, moved here around 1950. Navigating 180 degrees you can see the new three-story law library, built to coordinate with the historical buildings. At 90 degrees, navigate down the tall palm lined cobblestone streets. Using the aerial view you can see the buildings are centered around a courtyard with beautiful historic tiled fountains and a wishing well. (Need to use high resolution to see details and colors.). You can see Gulfport's shoreline is close.
