According to a press release, Stetson University College of Law is going to offer a Social Justice Advocacy Certificate of Concentration program for its students. The program will teach students how to handle social justice issues in criminal and civil law. The program will be selective, admitting only a limited number of students. Those students will be chosen based on their experiential and academic backgrounds, commitment to a career that will be dedicated to serving the cause of social justice and interviews with faculty members.
The program will be led by professors Robert Bickel and Judith Scully. Scully works as a faculty adviser for the Innocence Initiative at Stetson and the Juvenile Justice Initiative. Bickel has been teaching at the law school for quite some time. For the previous seven years he has taught a Constitutional Law and the Civil Rights Movement course. Funding for the course taught by Bickel has been provided by the law firm of Florin and Roebig. The course permits students to travel each summer to six cities in the south. The students go to institutes, museums, sites and veterans of the Civil Rights Movements.

Here at BCG we get no small number of inquiries from attorneys who have recently (e.g., within the past year) switched firms but, for a wide variety of reasons, find themselves wanting and/or needing to move again and thus want to resume their job search. The reasons for this most often include the following – sometimes a spouse receives a job offer in another market. Sometimes a group of partners makes an untimely departure, leading to business in your new practice group drying up and you sitting at the mercy of a first-in-first-out policy when the inevitable downsizing occurs. Sometimes the firm turns out not to be quite what you expected in terms of opportunity, professionalism, or personality, and you soon find yourself realizing that you may have [...]
