    THE EDUCATIONAL TOUR EXPERIENCE

    The Educational Tour Experience has evolved from the historical tour with more emphasis being placed on teaching student groups about the judicial branch, Florida’s court system, differences between trial and appellate courts and discussing the role of the justices and how they are appointed and retained.

    The Educational Tour Experience brings the history of the Court alive as visitors learn fascinating facts the supreme court building and the personalities that have given life to the Court over the years. Groups are also allowed a picture-taking opportunity on the bench - time and group size permitting.

    Tours can also include the Library and the Lawyer’s Lounge - time and group size permitting as well. Educational tours vary depending on the age and size of the group but normally last about 40 - 45 minutes. These tours can be tailored to fit your group's schedule.

    Among other fascinating stories, visitors will hear stories about the the bullet hole in the front door, the "faceless justice", and the justice who was stopped by a security officer for whistling in the hallway and told whistling was not allowed in the building!
