Navigation Justice Canady ends 17-year tenure on Florida Supreme Court, looks to shape next generation at UF
Justice Charles T. Canady, who served on the Florida Supreme Court since 2008 and as chief justice three times, will step down to join the University of Florida’s Hamilton School for Classical and Civic Education in 2026.
Justice Charles T. Canady — often described as ethical, principled, and devoted to public service — announced late yesterday that he is stepping down from the Florida Supreme Court to take a position at the University of Florida.
“It has been my great privilege to serve the people of Florida as a justice of the Supreme Court for the last 17 years,” Canady said in a statement released by the court. “I will always deeply value my years on the Court. But the time has come to move on to another position of public service.”
