Sponsored by The Florida Bar Trial Lawyers Section, the symposium was held in Orlando and featured a wide range of topics, including members of the Florida and federal judiciary discussing our court systems, the role of the United States Supreme Court, the First Amendment, and the state’s “Don’t Say Gay” legislation.
Professor Fingerhut addressed the meaning of the Fourth Amendment at the nation’s founding, its interpretive development through generations and technologies, and its application in and out of the classroom on school grounds.
“This was a wonderfully enthusiastic and engaged crowd,” Professor Fingerhut said.“They came to learn. To question. To understand that our constitutional framework is truly about who we are and what we want. We had a really fun and inspiring time together,” he continued, adding, “No one knows better than them that there’s nothing as great as great school.”
