Navigation Alum Celebrates Mentor by Raising Funds for Student Veterans
In a moving tribute to a mentor and fellow Stetson Law alumnus, Jeffrey D. Harvey ’12 has donated a special edition copy of Python Tales, a memoir written by former Florida Supreme Court Justice Fred Karl ’49, to the Florida Supreme Court archives.
Harvey hopes the gesture will raise awareness of Karl, a man who embodied the spirit of service, ethical governance, and passion for helping others in a time in the profession of law where role models for lawyers are as important as ever. He also hopes that it might inspire others to contribute to a scholarship created in Karl’s honor for Veterans attending Stetson Law.
The book chronicles Karl’s time serving overseas in World War II, after which he returned to the U.S. a decorated veteran bound for Stetson Law and, after that, incredible success in his field. Published just prior to Karl’s death in 2013, the book’s proceeds benefit Stetson’s Frederick B. Karl Veterans Scholarship.
