By Justice John D. Couriel
In his keynote speech, Justice John D. Couriel of the Florida Supreme Court argues that state constitutions supply valuable answers to the toughest problems lawyers face today, but that too often, they are overlooked. Citing examples of underdeveloped areas of state constitutional law—principally in the context of free speech—Justice Couriel advises practitioners to look to their state constitutions for novel solutions to their clients’ problems.
