Abstract

This article is intended to provide a socio-legal history of the transfer laws in Florida, not only the recent reforms but also transfer provisions dating back nearly fifty years. Multiple changes involving a mix of instrumental expressive, and systems or institutional factors have occurred during this time. The goals of our analysis are to explore the underlying reasons for Florida’s transfer reforms in particular and to improve our understanding of the dynamics of legal reform in general.
