Peter Goplerud, who served as dean of Florida Coastal School of Law since 2004, has stepped down from the position to lead a management services company.
The Jacksonville school is looking for an interim dean now and plans to do a national search for Goplerud's replacement.
Goplerud is a former dean of Drake University's law school as well as the University of Oklahoma and Southern Illinois University.
He will now lead a new company under InfiLaw, which is a consortium of law schools including Charlotte and Phoenix.
