As the semester winds down, Visiting Professor David F. Forte and students from his Constitutional Law class gathered for a group photo to mark the end of a productive and engaging term.

Throughout the semester, Professor Forte shared his extensive experience and expertise, enriching students’ understanding of the theory and practice of constitutional law. His engagement in and beyond the classroom made for a meaningful and memorable experience.

We thank Professor Forte for his contributions to our academic community this semester.

On Wednesday, the Office for Career Development and the Public Interest Law Society welcomed Assistant U.S. Attorney Amy Lynn Soto and Chief of Staff Jim Poland from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida, Department of Justice, for a Lunch & Learn presentation. They spoke to a room full of students about the path to securing a position in their office and introduced a new recruitment initiative. For the first time, the Department of Justice is waiving its traditional requirement of one year of legal practice and will now consider applicants who are fresh out of law school and have passed the bar.

Many students expressed strong interest and remained after the session to speak with the presenters and learn more.

Congratulations to Juliette Valle (2L) on completing the Florida Gubernatorial Fellow, Class XXI, under the Executive Office of Governor Ron DeSantis.

Juliette served as a speechwriter on education policy, contributing to communications for both the Governor and Commissioner of Education Anastasios Kamoutsas. Through this highly selective fellowship, she gained invaluable experience in public service, policy, and leadership at the highest levels of state government.

This achievement reflects STU College of Law’s commitment to developing future leaders in law and public service.

We are incredibly proud of Juliette and look forward to welcoming her back to STU Law for her final year.
