Martin A. Dyckman, retired associate editor of the St. Petersburg Times, is the author of Floridian of His Century: The Courage of Governor LeRoy Collins. In 1984, the Florida Bar Foundation recognized his writing on judicial reform with its Medal of Honor Award.
In the 1970s, justices on the Florida Supreme Court were popularly elected. But a number of scandals threatened to topple the court until public outrage led to profound reforms and fundamental changes in the way justices were seated. This title recounts this dark period in Florida politics.
