Florida Coastal School of Law was a private for-profit law school in Jacksonville, Florida. It was established in 1996[5] and was the last operating of three for-profit law schools of the InfiLaw System owned by Sterling Partners.[6][7][8] Because of funding and accreditation issues, the school closed its doors in 2021.[9] U.S. News & World Report ranks Coastal Law 147-193, its lowest law school ranking. In July 2022, the school had the lowest Florida bar passage rate of all Florida law schools, at 31%.
