Description

Florida Constitutional Law Cases in Context 2nd Edition ISBN 9781531031923

Preface to the Second Edition

The second edition of this book incorporates significant new cases from the dynamic and eventful past four years of Florida constitutional jurisprudence. It provides both legal and historical context for these developments, offering readers a deeper understanding of how recent decisions fit into the broader constitutional framework. In addition, it introduces thought-provoking new questions and, in some instances, replaces earlier cases with more concise or illustrative decisions that better capture key legal principles.

As with the first edition, this volume continues to present a distinctive blend of historical, academic, and practical insights. It remains the most comprehensive casebook available on Florida constitutional law.

Unlike typical casebooks, this edition contains extensive commentary drawn from the authors’ deep experience with the Florida Constitution. Author Jon Mills served as Chair of the Style & Drafting Committee of the 1997–98 Florida Constitution Revision Commission and has authored multiple successful citizens’ initiatives. Author Talbot "Sandy" D’Alemberte Adkins is a leading scholar of Florida constitutional history and the author of a definitive work on the 1968 Constitution. Both have litigated constitutional cases, taught the subject at Florida law schools, and written extensively on various aspects of the state constitution.

Accordingly, this book is designed not only to present the key judicial decisions interpreting the Florida Constitution, but also to situate them within their historical and practical contexts, offering readers a well-rounded and informed perspective on the evolving landscape of Florida constitutional law.
