    The Evolution of Justice in Florida: Historical Documents, Photographs & Images

    This exhibit depicts some of the interesting and significant aspects of the Supreme Court and the justice system throughout the history of Florida. Drawings, photographs, and documents, some dating as far back as 1597, provide insight into the development of Florida’s judicial system.

    The forty displays, each consisting of images and text, reflect the major components of the judiciary: The Law, Cases, The Court System, Juries and Justices.

    The exhibit of 18 displays of historical photographs and images is on display on the second floor rotunda of the Supreme Court building. In 2005 an additional 22 panels were added and displayed throughout the second floor of the Supreme Court.
