This is the logo for the 2025 High School Essay Contest. On the upper right corner of the graphic, it reads, 'U.S. District Court High School Essay Contest.' The main focus of the graphic is a justice scale. On the left of the scale is the portion of an American flag that is blue with white stars. On the right of the scale is the portion of an American flag that is red- and white-striped. On top of the scale in the center are drawings of four people from diverse backgrounds. In the background of the graphic, the words 'JUSTICE FOR ALL' repeat from left to right, top to bottom.

The Declaration of Independence is turning 250, and the court is excited to celebrate!

We'll be hosting events in all courthouses, with funding from the Bench Bar Fund and help from the lawyers with the Jacksonville Federal Court Bar Association, the Southwest Florida Federal Court Bar Association, and the Orlando and Tampa Chapters of the Federal Bar Association. The events are free and open to all!
