The Appellate Litigation Clinic recently secured a victory before the Fifth District Court of Appeal while serving as Guardian Ad Litem in a termination of parental rights case. Under the supervision of Professor Leticia Mora, clinical students, Priscilla Hernandez and James Richey drafted and filed an appellate brief advocating for the best interests of the child and urging affirmance of the trial court’s decision. The Fifth DCA issued a per curiam affirmance, upholding the termination of parental rights.
This outcome reflects the Clinic’s commitment to high-quality appellate advocacy and meaningful, real-world experience for students handling complex and impactful cases.

On Monday, we were honored to welcome Florida Supreme Court Justice John Couriel for a conversation on leadership, service, and how his experience as an Eagle Scout influenced his path to the bench. Justice Couriel reflected on his career, his faith, and his time in the Scouting program, offering personal insights into the values and lessons that have guided him along the way. The event was especially meaningful with several Eagle Scouts in attendance.
The program was presented by the Federalist Society, the St. Thomas Law Review, the St. Thomas Moot Court, and the Student Bar Association.
We are grateful to Justice Couriel for joining us and sharing his knowledge with our students.
