Supreme Court of Florida, State Supreme Court in Tallahassee, United States.
The Supreme Court of Florida is a state judicial institution in Tallahassee that handles cases involving the state constitution and legal precedents. Seven justices sit together to decide important matters affecting how laws apply throughout Florida.
This court was established in 1845 when Florida joined the Union, though it initially lacked permanent justices. A constitutional change in 1851 created fixed judicial positions, giving the institution a stable foundation.
The Supreme Court maintains a legal education program that introduces students to judicial procedures and constitutional principles through guided tours and mock trial sessions.
Visitors can attend oral arguments held during the first week of each month at the courthouse. The court releases its decisions every Thursday on its official website, where past cases are also available to review.
The building houses one of Florida's oldest state libraries, which began as a collection for judges alone. Over time this library expanded and now serves multiple branches of state government.
