The Dunwody Distinguished Lecture in Law Series

During the spring semester of every academic year, the Florida Law Review, as part of its Dunwody Distinguished Lecture in Law series, brings one of America's preeminent legal scholars to the University of Florida, Levin College of Law to speak about a compelling contemporary legal or social issue.

The Florida Law Review Dunwody Distinguished Lecture in Law series was established by the law firms of Dunwody, White and Landon, P.A. and Mershon, Sawyer, Johnston, Dunwody and Cole and the U.S. Sugar Corporation in honor of Elliot and Atwood Dunwody. The honorees were brothers who have dedicated their lives to the legal profession and who have set a standard of excellence for the Florida Bar. As graduates of the University of Florida College of Law, they have labored long, continuously and quietly to better the social and economic conditions in Florida.
