May It Please the Court
Files
Excerpt
In his painting series May It Please the Court, artist Xavier Cortada offers visual depictions of ten significant constitutional law decisions from the Supreme Court of the United States that originated in Florida. Cortada’s series is ‘of’ Florida, cases arising from instances unique to the state, in which Florida people, places, and events produce Florida things. Because Florida is a weird place full of weird people doing weird things. But those weird events produce legal disputes resulting in constitutional principles affecting the rest of the nation on matters ranging from criminal procedure to freedom of the press to free exercise of religion to property rights to state sovereign immunity.
