Justice Canady to exit Florida high court for UF academic role, giving DeSantis a 6th Florida Supreme Court pick
Florida Supreme Court Justice Charles Canady has announced his departure from the court, saying he accepted a job to head the University of Florida's school for classical liberal education.
"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 Nov. 17. "I will always deeply value my years on the Court.
"But the time has come to move on to another position of public service. I am looking forward to beginning 2026 as the director and a tenured professor at the Hamilton School for Classical and Civic Education at the University of Florida," he added.
The Gainesville-based school is meant in part to focus on the "foundations of Western and American civilization."
