The Florida Supreme Court building in Tallahassee features a statue of Lady Justice representing impartiality and legal authority. She is often depicted with a blindfold (symbolizing fairness), scales (for evaluating evidence), and a sword (the power of law). The statue is flanked by a State of Florida flag and a United States of America flag. The Florida Supreme Court is a Classical Revival structure. It features Greek architectural influence with a distinctive Guastavino dome, a rotunda, and marble columns. The building houses the main courtroom, library, and chambers. The Florida Supreme Court is the state's highest court, composed of seven justices. It holds mandatory jurisdiction over death sentences, bond validations, and utility rates, while presiding over major legal interpretations, constitutional issues, and the regulation of the Florida Bar.
