Courts and the Legislature

The court considers the State's constitution, its statutory law, and its structure of governance. To that end, we will explore the nature and scope of the power vested in courts by the Florida Constitution and how that power differs from powers vested in the other two branches of state government. In particular, we will look at how the judicial power interfaces with the legislative power--through application of law to facts to conclusively resolve disputes between private parties; through resolving conflicts between citizens and their government; and through court review of administrative agency action under legislative direction.
