Introduction

Our concept for the Treatise is that of a formal, systematic discourse of observations, interpretations, findings, and conclusions of environmental and land use law specific to Florida. The Treatise includes peer–reviewed articles, relevant topics on Florida environmental and land use law, procedural as well as substantive guidance, technical and legal discussions, key subject index, research aids, and modular compilation of articles by areas of practice.

The contribution of Section members and others to the Treatise is essential. The essence of the value of the Treatise is that it represents not one, but a diversity of perspectives on environmental and land use issues. Already many Section members, nonattorney affiliates, and others have contributed to the writing and editing of articles.

You are invited to get involved by actively participating: in authoring and editing articles; in using the Treatise in your practice; and in continually improving and promoting the Treatise in education, business, and government throughout the state. With your contribution, the Treatise will indeed be “the predominant and affordable general reference authority on environmental and land use law in Florida” and an “educational forum for Florida’s experts and specialists on environmental and land use law” that is second to none.  

Acknowledgements

Smith, the first Chair of the Treatise Committee, and the Section Administrator, Jackie Werndli, whose patience and guidance have been invaluable.
