The City, County and Local Government Law Section of The Florida Bar, in conjunction with Stetson Law Review, is pleased to present this Eighteenth Edition of the Local Government Law Symposium. On the one hand, this Symposium is filled with Articles and Last Words that offer current practical advice to the local government attorney. On the other hand, it highlights trends and themes in local government law worthy of our thoughtful analysis and study.
After the events of September 11, 2001, the tension between violence and civilization, individual rights and security, and the minority and the majority have come into focus in new ways. This Symposium discusses and explains many such tensions.
