History buffs will learn about the Broward County Judiciary’s rich (and sometimes, storied) past beginning with its incorporation in 1915. Through archival photographs, artifacts and legal documents, visitors will view the original buildings housing the county’s judicial system, learn about Broward’s first judge, Jacob F. Bunn (1915-1920), its first female judicial officer, Eunice C. Rencher, the first female judge to be elected to a state bench, Mildred Akerman, and first two African American judges, Thomas J. Reddick, Jr., and Alcee Hastings. Also on display are several legal documents, articles and photos documenting the highly publicized national investigation of the death of celebrity Anna Nicole Smith and the infamous 2000 Florida Election Recount. Judicial robes and other personal effects from several previous judges and legal representatives add to the exhibit’s significance.

This exhibit has been created with the generous support of Broward County Hispanic Bar Association, Honorable Florence Taylor Barner, Honorable Hope Bristol, Honorable Robert F. Diaz, Honorable Jane Fishman, Honorable Lisa Flanigan, Honorable Marina Garcia-Wood, Honorable Peggy Gehl, Honorable Kenneth Gottlieb, Honorable Daniel Kanner, Honorable Kristin Kanner, Honorable Robert W.
