The Florida Supreme Court Historical Society invites judges, lawyers, law professors and members of the public to serve on its board of trustees.
New trustees will be elected during the society’s annual meeting at the 2025 Annual Florida Bar Convention in June.
The mission of the Florida Supreme Court Historical Society is to preserve the history of Florida’s judicial system and to educate the public about the role of the courts in protecting personal rights and freedoms.
Fourth Circuit Judge Meredith Charbula is a trustee, Duval County Judge Gary Flower is secretary of the organization and Jacksonville attorneys Howard Coker and Hank Coxe are executive committee members-at-large.
The society supports education and outreach programs, publishes books chronicling the history of the state Supreme Court and the Historical Review magazine and facilitates the collection and archiving of historical documents and artifacts.
The society’s board meets in person twice a year, including once at the Annual Florida Bar Convention and once in Tallahassee. Trustees and members participate in the society’s annual dinner event, A Supreme Evening, attended by government leaders, judges, attorneys, educators and special guests.
The society’s nominations committee is seeking leaders with a commitment to the legal profession, time and ability to serve, sound judgment and integrity, and enthusiasm for honoring and preserving the history of Florida’s judiciary.
