The conservative judge graduated from Yale University in the late 70�s. He served in the Florida House and Congress. Canady said his life of public service has prepared him to be a Supreme Court Justice.
�The job in many respects will be similar to the job I�ve had as an appellant judge on the 2nd district Court, but its of course I think a more demanding job, but I�m looking forward to meting the challenges of this new responsibility,� said Canady.
