Summary
This book features some of the most turbulent and monumental rulings from the Florida Supreme Court (FSC). This period of great social and political change in the state, nation, FSC, and then governors Graham and Askew, features the first Republican governor taking office (Martinez) and the appointment of two new justices. Substantial changes in law and ethics were foremost in these years, with a robust change to Florida's tort laws with Hoffman v. Jones and the reinstatement of Virgil Hawkins.
