Five of the nine fellows selected from a statewide pool of applicants for the 2025-26 Supreme Court of Florida Fellowship Program were FSU Law students:

• Haven Branca (2L) — Justice Renatha Francis
• Mason Bennett ‘26— Justice Meredith L. Sasso
• Sheldon Burnell ‘26 — Chief Justice Carlos G. Muñiz
• Zenani Johnson (2L) — Justice Jorge Labarga
• Steven Wiktorski ‘26 — Justice Adam S. Tanenbaum

These students gained invaluable insight into the judicial system right here in Tallahassee. Our campus is located just steps from Florida’s highest court, which offers FSU Law students unparalleled opportunities to learn beyond the classroom.

Through externships, clerkships, and fellowships, selected students can gain hands-on experience with the court and mentorship from Florida’s justices.
