UF Levin College of Law

The Class of 2029 is already building its UF Law community. 🐊

Incoming 1Ls joined us on campus for the Committed Students Welcome Event, where they connected with future classmates, explored student and career resources, and got a head start on preparing for life at UF Law.

We can’t wait to welcome this incredible group of future lawyers back to Gainesville this fall!

The Class of 2026 is headed across Florida and the country to launch careers in law firms, public interest organizations, government agencies, businesses, and judicial chambers. From competitive clerkships to top employers, these outcomes reflect the talent of our graduates and the strength of a UF Law degree.

Follow along as we highlight the organizations, offices, and chambers where UF Law’s newest alumni will begin their legal careers.

UF Law student Christian Jubran (JD 27) is preparing to take the next step in his legal education through the Semester in Practice program, where he will be clerking with the U.S. House Judiciary Committee in Washington, D.C., this fall.

In a recent profile, Christian reflects on how UF Law’s experiential learning opportunities, faculty support, and professional development resources helped him secure the opportunity and prepare for practice.

“What makes the Semester in Practice program so valuable is that UF doesn't just give students access to these placements; it integrates them,” Christian said. “It means I'm not parachuting in; I'm arriving as someone whose training was designed to lead here.”
