Most of the links at the bottom do not work. I attempted to remove them - but someone undid my changes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.73.24.46 (talk) 00:08, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
The school's website says SU College of Law, not SU Law School. Is there something I'm missing, or does the name need to be changed? Aboutmovies 05:37, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
The article contains the sentence, "Over the past dozen years, the school's advocacy program has been, according to some sources, ranked first in the nation eight times, and second three times." I think that claim needs to be supported by some type of citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.74.22 (talk) 21:54, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Since Stetson University College of Law remains a part of Stetson University, perhaps that Wikipedia page should be linked in the first sentence? Example: Stetson University College of Law, founded in 1900, is Florida's first law school.
I'd do it myself, but I work for Stetson so it's a COI.

Since Stetson University College of Law is an academic institution, I would like to request that the "Programs" and "Standings" section be moved to the top of the entry, and the "Employment" and "Cost" sections be given a lower priority on the page.
Also, the details on these more recent section changes include several important exclusions and errors. On the ABA statistics cited in the Employment section, the full-time long-term bar passage required employment rate is actually 62%. When you add the total employment rates for those in bar passage required, J.D. advantage, professional positions, or pursuing a full-time graduate degree (not including those working in non-professional positions), the total rate is 91.27%. The ABA is the primary accreditor for all law schools, giving these reports important objective credibility.
In the Cost section, the first sentence references West Virginia University instead of Stetson University College of Law. It also uses a period instead of a comma for the total cost of attendance. The actual tuition and fee amounts were deleted recently, so I would like to request that they be added back in. Full-time tuition for 2014-15 is $38,584 with fees of $320 for the year.
Also in the Cost section, the debt-financed cost referenced in the current entry makes several assumptions: that every student maxes out their access to loans for three years with no outside work or income of any type, plus it makes assumptions for inflation and interest rates. Based on the subjective nature of these assumptions, I would recommend that the debt-financed cost of attendance item be removed from the article.
THANK YOU for your consideration of these recommendations.
PS--Does the May 2009 request for additional citations still need to be there? The page has evolved quite a bit since then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TampaEditor (talk • contribs) 20:28, 24 July 2014

I work for Stetson University College of Law and have a COI for making edits directly. In right box, can you please change "Dean" to "Interim Dean" and replace "Christopher M. Pietruszkiewicz" with "Kristen Adams". [1]
Can you please also update the Employment section that currently has stats for 2014? For the class of 2017, of 263 graduates, 245 were employed and 6 were enrolled as full-time students on March 15, 2018. Additional information is available on Stetson Law's Employment Reports web page at https://www.stetson.edu/law/career/employment-report.php.
Thank you!

"For the class of 2017, of 263 graduates, 245 were employed and 6 were enrolled as full time students"seems to conflate the figures for employees and students. Please clarify which is which.

Thanks for your feedback above regarding Stetson's employment statistics. I have consulted with others at Stetson and would like to submit the following statement containing Stetson's latest employment information as a replacement for the 2014 information currently on page: “According to Stetson Law's official 2018 ABA-required disclosures of Employment Outcomes, 77.1% of the Class of 2017 obtained full-time, long-term, JD-required or JD-Advantage employment ten months after graduation, 1.9% of the graduates were still seeking employment at the time of reporting.”
For reference, please see the "Employment Summary for 2017 Graduates" at https://www.stetson.edu/law/career/media/2017-employment-report.pdf .
The current sentence under Employment section stating "About 27 students from this graduating class obtained law teaching positions" is inaccurate and should be removed. The chart could be either removed or updated with information from https://www.stetson.edu/law/career/media/2017-employment-report.pdf for consistency with Stetson's latest employment information. Thank you.

"The current sentence under Employment section stating "About 27 students from this graduating class obtained law teaching positions" is inaccurate"does not provide information on how and in what way the statement is inaccurate.[a] The reviewer needs to understand these aspects of the statement in order to better determine whether the statement should be removed.
Notes
Regarding Special:Diff/864652233, I wonder if this may be the issue addressed in the "edit request" sections above. Instead of replacing content by a link, please use the link to update the content. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:32, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
