Florida State University College of Law, a law school in the Southeastern U.S., is one of the professional graduate schools of Florida State University, located in Tallahassee, Florida. The law school borders the South-East quadrant of the University's campus, near the Donald L. Tucker Center (also known as the Tallahassee Civic Center) and immediately across the street from the First District Court of Appeal (as of Spring 2007, the Florida Legislature has given the court building to the law school for renovation as an educational facility). It is recognizable by the distinctive and historic white wood trellis structures outside the law school's eastern buildings.
