rustees Agree To Move Law Schoo T^e board of trustees of Stetson University, meeting in special session here today, unanimously agreed to move its college oif law either to Jacksonville or Tampa, Dr. J. Ollie Edmunds, president of the university, said following the meeting. The decision came, he said, after a special trustees' committee had carefully considered advantages offered by various Florida cities, including DeLand. Final action was beleived by thise present to be in the long tern best interest of the law school and of legal education in Florida. It W£S pointed out that the Stetson law school is one of the few privately supported law schools accredited by the American Bar Association which is operated in a community as small as DeLand. Most law schools consider court advantages of metropolitan areas an important adjunct of their training. In the opinion of the board, either Tampa or Jacksonville would provide these desirable features. The committee listed fivte reasons they favored Jacksonville or Tampa- They are: 1. Broader opportunities to see legal processes in action. 2. Opportunity to serve a greater number of students- 3- Opportunity for students to wholly or partiaPy support themselves while completing work for their degrees- 4. Availability of outstanding lecturers who are specialists in their field. 5. Opportunity for law apprenticeship and close association with successful practicing lawyers while they are still in college- Continued On Page Two Law Bay To Feature Legal Institute, Student Argument Barrister's Banquet "Law Day, presented annually by the Stetson Law Students Association and?
