Prospectus - Levin College of Law - University of Florida

Multi-million-dollar expansions have transformed the Levin College
of Law into a state-of-the-art legal learning center. The new facilities
include: a free-standing legal advocacy center with an expansive
courtroom; a law library that is the largest in the Southeast and
among the top 20 in the country; comfortable, modern classrooms
equipped with advanced technology; and a ceremonial classroom
for conferences, receptions and special sessions. The facilities are
built around the Marcia Whitney Schott Courtyard, where students
meet daily to exchange information, attend events and, most
importantly, make lifelong friends and colleagues.
STATE OF THE ART
THE MARTIN H. LEVIN ADVOCACY CENTER
The Martin H. Levin Advocacy Center is
the core of a $6 million 19,500-squarefoot
stand-alone building boasting
an impressive two-story grand foyer
and glass entry with an open staircase.
The courtroom, now in use by UF Law
students, serves a teaching function
enhanced by large monitors overhead,
phone and Internet connections, and
tiered seating, which gives 98 students
a clear view of the proceedings. The
courtroom includes a bench for accommodating
seven judges, a jury box
and attorneys’ tables. The courtroom
also features judge’s chambers and
a jury deliberation room. The center,
which is named in honor of Martin H.
Levin (JD 88), son and former colleague
of Pensacola attorney and college
namesake Fredric G. Levin (JD 61),
places the Levin College of Law at the
forefront of major law colleges providing
students with sophisticated facilities
and services.
