Larry S. Stewart of Stewart Tilghman Fox Bianchi & Cain has authored Chasing Justice: Florida Justice Association 1950-2000. The book details the first 50 years of the Florida Justice Association (FJA), describing the organization’s development into the modern-day institution.

Chasing Justice will be released in March 2022. More information is available on FJA’s website. Reviews of the book are below.

“In chronicling the first fifty years of the Florida Justice Association, Larry Stewart provides a fascinating history of the rise of plaintiff lawyers in Florida and their unwavering commitment to vindicating the individual rights of citizens throughout the state.? Everyone interested in the evolution of tort law in Florida, and fights over judicial independence and so-called tort reform throughout the nation, should read this book.”??Laura Ann Rosenbury of University of Florida Levin College of Law

“In a meticulously Researched book, my friend, Larry Stewart, recounts the events and characters of the first 50 years of the Florida Justice Association. He was present for much of it which adds richness to the narrative. This book makes it clear that without resolute and constant efforts, the right to seek redress for harms would be lost.”??Roxanne Conlin of Roxanne Conlin and Associates

Traynor on Liberty, Law, and Democracy

In his essay "Liberty, Law, and Democracy: Are There Grounds for Realistic Optimism?" Michael Traynor, former President of The American Law Institute, reflects on the challenges facing American democracy amid political polarization and institutional strain. He examines threats to the balance between liberty and law, citing dysfunction across the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, while drawing on historical context and recent scholarship to frame these concerns.
