Judge Akins Honored
The local bar, various judges, staff and even former staff, gathered in Gainesville District this week to honor Judge Elwin Akins. Judge Akins was inducted to the Florida Workers' Compensation Hall of Fame this year. His plaque was presented to the Gainesville District Office, where it will be maintained and displayed in his honor. It is great to be able to remember our past and those who did so much for Florida workers' compensation. More on Judge Akins here .
