Online LL.M. in Advocacy

Distinguish Yourself

We've all seen them - exceptional advocates who stand head and shoulders above their peers. Advocates who connect, explain, and persuade with ease. Advocates who compel their audiences to action. If you possess the desire to be just such an advocate, Stetson's Online LL.M. in Advocacy is for you!

Stetson's LL.M. in Advocacy was designed to foster participants' development into full-spectrum legal advocates by challenging common assumptions about advocacy, encouraging personal growth, and teaching how to couple advocacy skills with sound legal analysis and strategic planning. Courses offered include but are not limited to Advanced Evidence, Mastering Voir Dire, Law Practice Management, Expert Witnesses, and Technology Enhanced Advocacy.

With the demanding schedules of practicing attorneys in mind, Stetson's LL.M. in Advocacy is designed to be as flexible and convenient as possible.  The Program uses an online, distance-learning model, including but not limited to viewing recorded lectures, live online sessions, discussion boards, and video feedback.  The program provides students with opportunities for writing advocacy-related publishable works and creating innovative advocacy training courses.

Stetson's leadership role in advocacy education is no accident. Rather, it's the direct consequence of the attention and resources we devote to the study and practice of advocacy. Stetson has experienced advocates on its Adjunct Faculty who teach in the Online Advocacy LL.M., a Center for Excellence in Advocacy, an online Advocacy Resource Center, and a brand new Advocacy Institute!

We not only train advocates, but we also train those who teach advocacy during our annual Educating Advocacy Teachers (EATS) Conference.  Each year, advocacy instructors and practitioners from across the U.S. and as far away as Australia and Scotland gather in Gulfport to learn how Stetson teaches advocacy and to share ideas for advancing the art of advocacy.

Therefore, as you consider the best place to earn an LL.M. in Advocacy, ask yourself this: Would you rather learn from an institution where advocacy is a core mission or an afterthought?
