District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Chesterfield Smith, Julian Clarkson, Michael Fogarty and Gregg Thomas of Holland & Knight, Tampa, for appellants.

Joseph W. Little and Winston P. Nagan, Professors of Law, University of Florida College of Law, Gainesville, amici curiae, for appellants.

Thomas R. Julin of Steel, Hector & Davis, Miami, Sandra Bieber of Sherman & Bieber, and Larry G. Turner of Larry G. Turner & Associates, Gainesville, for appellees.

OWEN, WILLIAM C., Jr., (retired) Associate Judge.

The issue here is whether the Government in the Sunshine Law Section 286.011, Florida Statutes (1980), applies to the Dean Search and Screen Committee of the University of Florida College of Law. We hold that it does not, and reverse the very articulate and cogent order of the trial court to the contrary, together with a separate order awarding attorney's fees, the appeals having been consolidated.
