History
From the founding of Florida State University College of Law in 1966, the Student Bar Association has led the way in representing and advocating on behalf of all students at the law school. SBA has consistently played a large role at Florida State College of Law, and the impact of the organization has been shaped by its outstanding leaders through the years. An organization can only go as far as its leaders, and below you will find the individuals who have helped pave the way to making the Student Bar Association what it is today.
The Florida State University College of Law Student Bar Association organized in November of 1966.
