In 1993, Florin Roebig courtroom was built for the advancement of legal education at Stetson University College of Law. The courtroom is one of the largest and most technologically advanced teaching courtrooms in the nation. It is regularly used as a teaching and competition classroom by the law school, but also regularly serves as a venue for The Florida Second District Court of Appeals to present oral arguments. Florin Roebig courtroom underwent further renovations and upgrades that were made by the firm before being rededicated by Stetson Law in 2006. The resulting positive impact of the courtroom led to the selection of Wil Florin and Tommy Roebig as recipients of the Paul May outstanding alumni award in 2007 by the 6,000 member Stetson Lawyer’s Association.
