Florida Coastal School of Law Information

Founded in 1996, Florida Coastal School of Law (Coastal Law) is an ABA-accredited institution located in Jacksonville, FL, whose culturally diverse students graduate practice-ready through hard work and award-winning, ongoing practical training that is taught by supportive and experienced faculty. Florida Coastal School of Law has been recognized by The National Jurist magazine in its honor roll of best law schools for practical training. Unlike the 65% national law-school average, 100% of our students participate in pro bono legal work prior to graduation – which combined with our other experiential learning opportunities results in thousands of hours per year in practical training. Florida Coastal School of Law’s competitive teams are consistent winners and have received individual honors at statewide, regional, and national competitions. Pre-Law magazine recognized the school as having the third best Moot Court team in the country in the past decade. We were National Moot Court Champions and have been ranked #1 in the nation for two of the last three years – adding to a decade of success as winners in 25 national competitions. Our Moot Court Honor Board is consistently ranked in the top 15 among all ABA accredited Law Schools. Florida Coastal School of Law serves a student body that is nearly 50% diverse compared to just 13% diversity in the U.S. legal profession. Because of this, our institution is a recipient of the INSIGHT Into Diversity Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award. https://www.instagram.com/coastallawschool/ https://twitter.com/FloridaCoastal https://www.facebook.com/CoastalLaw
