Florida Law Review Lecture 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.

The Lecture Series is intended to perpetuate the example set by the Dunwody brothers by providing a forum for renowned legal scholars to present novel and challenging ideas. The lecture given is published by the Florida Law Review and is included in an edition of the Review devoted to the ideas presented by the Dunwody Distinguished Lecturer in Law.

In the evening before the Dunwody Lecture, the Review hosts a banquet for the law school's faculty, administrators, and Review members. The next morning an informal breakfast in the Review office is followed with the lecture in the Holland Law Auditorium at the University of Florida, Levin College of Law. The lecture is open to the public.
