Watch Parole Hearings Live on our Campus: Upcoming Visit by the Florida Commission on Offender Review

Law Students,

The Florida Commission on Offender Review is going to be visiting our campus from March 19, 2024, through March 21, 2024. The Commission conducts parole hearings for the State of Florida, and they are statutorily required to conduct hearings throughout the state. They typically do so by traveling to different law schools in the state and allowing students to observe the proceedings. The hearings are public, and they are often attended by law enforcement officials, state attorneys, victims, and inmate supporters who offer testimony prior to the Commissioners voting on each case. Importantly, this is the first time the Commission will be conducting hearings on our campus.

There are four opportunities for you to engage with the Commission during their visit:

  1. On Tuesday, March 19, 2024, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, in F&R Courtroom, the Commission will put on a presentation to talk with you about their work. If you would plan to attend that session, please RSVP HERE. Please note that space is limited. You will receive a follow-up email if you have a confirmed spot at the session. Also, this is a brown-bag lunch, so you will need to bring your own food.
  2. On Wednesday, March 20, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, in F&R Courtroom, the Commission will conduct live parole hearings. Please note that space is limited and will be available on a first come-first served basis on the day of the event. However, to give us an idea of numbers, if you would like to attend that session, please fill out the form HERE.
  3. On Wednesday, March 20, 2024, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, in F&R Courtroom, the Commission will conduct live parole hearings. Please note that space is limited and will be available on a first come-first served basis on the day of the event. However, to give us an idea of numbers, if you would like to attend that session, please RSVP HERE.
  4. On Thursday, March 21, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM, in F&R Courtroom, the Commission will conduct live parole hearings. Please note that space is limited and will be available on a first come-first served basis on the day of the event. However, to give us an idea of numbers, if you would like to attend that session, please RSVP HERE.

If you would like to attend one of the sessions but cannot stay for the entire session, that is fine. We just ask that you leave quietly and respectfully when it is time for you to depart.

Student Bar Association Elections: Informational Session

The Student Bar Association will be hosting an informational session for all students who are interested in running for an Executive Council or Legislative Council position. SBA is comprised of the Legislative Council and the Executive Council. The Legislative Council is a group of representatives who are elected by their peers and serve as liaisons between the student body and faculty. The number of Legislative Council representatives is determined by the size of each class (1L, 2L, 3L, and PT). The Executive Council is comprised of nine (9) members who are elected by their peers to oversee the Legislative Council and maintain their respective obligations (i.e. finances, constitution, ABA, etc.). SBA also facilitates eleven (11) committees which are focused on serving a different aspect of the Association. These committees include: ABA, Alumni, Barrister’s, Communications, Constitution & Bylaws, Diversity, Elections, Finance, Health and Wellness, Pro Bono, and Socials. Being a part of SBA not only allows you an opportunity to advocate for the student body, but also to actively engage in bettering the Stetson campus.

To learn more about SBA, what we do, and what positions may be a good fit for you, we are hosting an informational session on March 7 @ 12 PM. This will be an opportunity to ask questions about the job duties, time commitment, and ways you can get involved. Any student interested in running for a Legislative Council or Executive Council position is highly encouraged to attend as information on election dates and rules will be provided at this meeting. Lunch will be provided for attendees.

STETSON LAW REVIEW 2024 SYMPOSIUM 

Stetson Law Review is thrilled to announce its annual Symposium on Friday, March 22, 2024, from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM. This event will accommodate both in-person and virtual attendance options. For those that attend in person, breakfast, lunch, and farewell reception will be provided.

The 2024 Stetson Law Review annual Symposium will feature discussion on Territorial Law Across the Curriculum. For too long, the laws of the U.S. Territories have been underrepresented in legal practice and academia. The presentations in this Symposium will serve as a guide for professors to incorporate territorial law issues into the fundamental law school classes they teach, expose students to important topics in territorial law, and introduce practitioners to a body of law that could benefit their practices. Panel topics will range from a primer on Territorial Law for the uninitiated to the role of the U.S. Territories in our constitutional structure to ways that Territorial Law topics can be integrated into existing law school classes as well as experiential education opportunities. Our keynote speaker, Senator Genevieve Whitaker, will discuss her journey from the U.S. Virgin Islands to Stetson Law and back with an emphasis on the importance of using our legal education to serve our communities and further social justice.

Congratulations, Dispute Resolution Board!

We had three teams competing this weekend, from Buffalo, New York, to Williamsburg, Virginia, to Oxford, Mississippi, and all of our advocates did great work!

First up – in Buffalo, New York, four great advocates represented us beautifully in the ABA Representation in Mediation Competition!  Great work, Jennifer Kuramochi, Team Captain Megan Nickel-Martin, Dominique Alford, and Gary Lopez-Perea, and a special thanks to our fantastic mediation coach, Stetson alumna Amy Catledge, Esq!  All four of them were representing Stetson for the first time, in one of our most challenging competitions.  

Next – in Williamsburg, Virginia, we had two great teams at the William & Mary Negotiation tournament – Team Captain Kendra Maynard, Michael Carballa, Kristina Lester, and Setyo Laksono.   Michael and Kristina were representing Stetson for the first time, while Kendra and Setyo returned this year as experienced negotiators after a great rookie year in which they both excelled in negotiation.  They were coached by two outstanding Stetson DR alumnae – Alina Evans, Esq. and Sy-Woei Hao, Esq.  Both teams made us proud, and Kendra and Setyo advanced to the semifinals!

Last but certainly not least, we had two wonderful teams at the Magnolia Cup negotiation tournament in Oxford, Mississippi – Co-Captains Andrea Gwin and Kamila Waugh, along with Collin O’Keefe and Gabriela Pombo.  Andrea and Kamila are both experienced competitors who have already excelled in negotiation and mediation, respectively, and Collin and Gabriela were representing Stetson for the first time.  They were coached by Stetson DR alumna Kylie Weaver, Esq. and Professor James Sheehan.  After preliminary rounds, both teams advanced to semifinals, and, after advancing to finals, Andrea and Kamila emerged as champions, making this the third year in a row for Stetson to win the Magnolia Cup!
