The most avidly read section of Florida State Law
is “Class Action.” The law school’s more than 8,000
alumni want to know what their classmates have been
doing – awards they have received, high-profile cases
they have won, law firms or cities they have moved to,
pro bono activities they have undertaken and more.
Just as important: Did you get married? Have a baby?
Write a novel? Run a marathon? Perform in a band?
