The Supreme Court of Florida

“A fascinating judicial study. The importance of the modern high court’s docket is thoroughly and expertly chronicled in this book: reapportionment, courtroom cameras, personal injury, family law, environmental law, capital punishment, criminal justice, and equal justice under law.”—Thomas E. Baker, coauthor of Appellate Courts: Structures, Functions, Processes, and Personnel



“A highly readable portrait of a crucial time in the history of the state high court. It brings to life the jurists and lawyers who contributed so much to contemporary Florida law.”—Mary Ziegler, author of After Roe: The Lost History of the Abortion Debate



“A richly sourced, thoroughly researched, and entertaining account of one of the most significant eras in the history of what is arguably the most important (and least reported) branch of Florida government.”—Martin A. Dyckman, author of A Most Disorderly Court: Scandal and Reform in the Florida Judiciary



“Necessary reading for anyone interested in law and politics in Florida.”—Jon L. Mills, author of Privacy in the New Media Age

“[A] timeless. . . . entertaining, scholarly look at this historic era in Florida law.”—Tallahassee Democrat
