Fighting for Justice in Florida

Please join us at a cocktail reception on Thursday, Nov. 30th at 6:30 PM as we celebrate our 45th Anniversary at HistoryMiami, North Building. Since our inception, we have been committed to making a difference in our criminal justice system, for those who are homeless & and living in poverty, for individuals who are being denied disability access, and other civil rights issues. None of our accomplishments would have been possible without the generous support of people like you – people who believe in the dignity of the underserved and who have helped us continue our efforts. Information about how you can sponsor us or attend can be found here.

The Randall C. Berg, Jr. Legacy Society was created to honor the legacy of Randy Berg, who cofounded the Florida Justice Institute (FJI) in 1978 and served as its Executive Director for 41 years until his retirement in 2019. During that time, he was a mentor, friend, colleague, leader and confidante to the many lawyers, paralegals, law students, and clients who passed through FJl’s doors. He was a tireless advocate for poor and disenfranchised Floridians, and he passionately believed that everyone deserved justice- no matter who they were or what was in their background. Now more than ever, the work started by Randy needs to continue a s FJl works to fulfill his vision! Learn more about becoming a member by clicking here.
