  • Florida's Supreme Court Justicew
    FLORIDA’S SUPREME COURT JUSTICES Charles T. Canady Chief Justice Justice Canady was appointed to the Florida Supreme Court in August 2008. He served as chief justice from 2010 – 2012 and, since July 1, 2018, has been serving as chief for a second time. Born in Lakeland, Florida, Justice Canady has the unusual distinction of having served in all three branches of government. Returning to Lakeland after receiving his BA from Haverford College and his JD from Yale Law School, he went into private practice, concentrating on real estate law. In 1984, he successfully ran for a seat in the Florida House and served for three terms. Then in 1993, he was elected to the US House, serving until 2001. Throughout his tenure in Congress, he was a member of the House Judiciary Committee, which sparked his interest in appellate work; he chaired the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution from 1995 to 2001. After leaving Washington, DC, he returned to Florida and settled in Tallahassee, where he served as the governor’s general counsel. In 2002, he was appointed to the Second District Court of Appeal, where he remained until his appointment to the Florida Supreme Court. Justice Canady and his wife, Jennifer Houghton, have two children. Ricky Polston Justice Justice Polston was appointed to the Florida Supreme Court in October 2008, and he served as chief justice from 2012 – 2014. A native of Graceville, Florida, Justice Polston grew up on a farm that raised peanuts, watermelon, and cattle. He began his professional life as a certified public accountant: he received his BS in accounting from Florida State University in 1977 and developed a thriving career (in fact, he is still a licensed CPA).

    1 OPEN NINTH: CONVERSATIONS BEYOND THE COURTROOM FROM HAVANA TO TALLAHASSEE EPISODE 1 AUGUST 15, 2016 HOSTED BY: FREDERICK J. LAUTEN ,JR. 2 (Music.) >> Welcome to Episode 1 of "Open Ninth: Conversations Beyond the Courtroom" in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida. And now here's your host, Chief Judge Frederick J. Lauten. >> JUDGE LAUTEN: We're honored to have as our guest today Chief Justice Jorge Labarga, the 56th Chief Justice of the Florida Supreme Court, the first Cuban-American to serve as a justice of the Florida Supreme Court, and the first Justice since 19 -- excuse me, 1865 to be re-elected by his colleagues to serve a second consecutive term as Chief Justice of the Florida Supreme Court. Chief Justice, thank you very much for joining us today. >> JUSTICE LABARGA: Thank you for having me. >> JUDGE LAUTEN: So, Chief, your path to the Chief Justice position at the Florida Supreme Court is unlike any other justice. Why don't you tell our listeners where you were born and your early childhood experiences. >> JUSTICE LABARGA: Well, I was born in Cuba in 1952, and my mother tells me that there was a Category 4 or Category 5 hurricane passing through Havana at the time that she was delivering me in a C-section. So the generators were on in the hospital and everything was boarded up and the whole works. So I came into the world with a bang. 3 And my father was heavily involved in the Cuban revolution, assisting Fidel Castro to overthrow Batista. And, of course, Fidel had promised the Cuban people an American-style democracy.

Pariente The Honorable R. Fred Lewis The Honorable Peggy A. Quince The Honorable Charles T. Canady The Honorable Ricky Polston The Honorable C. Alan Lawson 2016 - 2017 Officers of The Florida Bar William J. Schifino, Jr., President Michael J. Higer, President-elect John F. Harkness, Jr., Executive Director TOBIAS SIMON (1929 - 1982) “He opposed capital punishment, pressed for criminal reform, fought to improve the jurisdiction of the Florida Supreme Court, taught scintillating law school classes and wrote books on appellate review. He made enemies doing so — but also a lot of friends.” In those few words of tribute, Roberta Simon summed up much of her illustrious father’s career that ended with his death from cancer at age 52, on Feb. 25, 1982. Toby Simon was well-known throughout Florida and beyond as a tireless civil rights attorney, a crusader for prison reform, and an appellate authority. During his 30 years of law practice, he represented such divergent interests as major land developers, Communists, Nazis, teachers’ unions, and governmental agencies. In between causes there were intervals as a visiting professor at the Florida State University College of Law and at Nova Southeastern University’s Shepard Broad Law Center.

On January 14, 2019, I had the highest professional honor ofmy life when you appointed me as a Justice on the Supreme Court of Florida. As a lawyer and judge, there is no greater service I could provide to our State than to serve on its Supreme Court. I pray that I have done that honorably and well in the short time I have been on the Court. The only thing that could, and has, taken me away from my commitment to our State is the opportunity to serve our nation. President Trump gave me that opportunity when he appointed me to the Eleventh Circuit. I will miss serving with the best state judges, and on the best state Supreme Court, in the country.
