Nat Stern, a constitutional law expert and 30-year member of the law school faculty, credits Weidner for elevating the status of FSU's College of Law. "Much of the hard work has been on his part," Stern said.</p>
<p>Stern, a Harvard law graduate, notes that the level of the faculty their credentials, where and how often they are published and cited has risen dramatically during the past three decades. The modest professor doubts if he would have been eligible to join FSU based on today's standards.</p>
<p>Stern, with more institutional memory than almost anyone affiliated with the law school, is reluctant to make too much over this year's ranking by U.S. News & World Report.</p>
<p>"In the last few years, there's been a kind of psychological breakthrough in the perception of the school, but the substantive improvement has been occurring for a long period of time," Stern said. "There's been a collective faculty determination to raise the law school to the next level."
