Society Programs & Activities

In addition to its publications, some of the Society's major activities are a series of Oral History Programs, an Annual Dinner (and a preceding reception), and support of public tours of the Florida Supreme Court Building.


Oral History Programs

Oral History DVDs

Since 1985 the Society has conducted 20 Oral History Programs, designed to recognize the contributions of individuals who have had a major impact on the Florida judicial system and to record those contributions for posterity. The programs -- held in various locations across Florida -- have been preserved in the Society's archives. Click here for list of Oral History Programs or to order DVDs of individual programs. Additional Oral History Programs are planned.


Annual Dinner

The Annual Dinner has become the "centerpiece" event on the Society's annual calender. It provides an opportunity for Society members, jurists, Florida Bar leaders, government officials, educators and others to get together in Tallahassee and hear a high-profile speaker discuss his/her views on relevant topics of importance to the judiciary and the Florida citizenry. This annual event, which has become increasingly popular and well attended, is underwritten by sponsorship contributions from throughout the state.

Supreme Court Tours

Volunteer

In the late 1990s a group of Society members was instrumental in working with the Florida Supreme Court to establish a docents program to conduct public tours of the Supreme Court Building. Court staff members now coordinate and conduct many of the tours, but the Society continues to support this program and some members volunteer their assistance.
