Drawn from research in the manuscript records of the federal
judiciary and the court reports of the Florida Supreme Court, this
book examines how state and federal judges responded to the
enforcement of local, state, and national prohibition in Florida.
Upholding these measures often resulted in governmental
encroachment on civil liberties; consequently, judges found
themselves positioned to determine the scope of the liquor laws. As
they balanced the rights of individuals with the power of the
state, Florida judges acted independently of public opinion and
based their rulings on precedent and citation of authority. To
present the fullest picture possible, this text, while focusing on
the efforts of the judges to uphold the spirit and the letter of
the various liquor laws, it also considers the views of individuals
who violated prohibition.
