Joseph Hatchett

A North Florida congressman has filed legislation to name a federal courthouse in Tallahassee in honor of former Florida Supreme Court Justice Joseph W. Hatchett.

Congressman Al Lawson, a Democrat from Tallahassee, filed HR 4771 on July 28. The measure would designate a federal courthouse facility at 111 Adams Street, a block from the Capitol, the “Joseph Woodrow Hatchett United States Courthouse and Federal Building.”
