The citizen-initiative process allows the People of Florida to propose amendments to the state constitution, subject to Supreme Court review. But what is the appropriate scope of judicial review of such ballot initiatives? Does the single-subject rule enable outcome-driven judicial decision-making? This panel will discuss these questions and others in the context of the Adult Personal Use of Marijuana and the Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion initiatives.

Featuring:

- Daniel Bell, Chief Deputy Solicitor General, Office of Florida Attorney General
- Anastasia Boden, Director, Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies, Cato Institute
- Hon. Alan Lawson, Shareholder, Lawson Huck Gonzalez PLLC
- Prof. Jonathan Marshfield, Associate Professor of Law, University of Florida Levin College of Law
- Moderator: Hon. Anne-Leigh Gaylord Moe, Judge, Thirteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida
