Florida Supreme Court Justice Charles Canady will become chief justice for two years starting in July, the court announced Thursday.

Canady, 63, already served as chief justice from 2010 to 2012. The position rotates, although current Chief Justice Jorge Labarga is finishing his second consecutive term. The chief justice is chosen by the justices based on managerial, administrative and leadership abilities rather than seniority, according to the court.

“I look forward to continuing to serve the people and the judicial branch,” Canady said in a statement. “I have worked with so many outstanding Florida public servants for many years now, including my fellow justices. I thank them for their trust in me and look forward to the work ahead.”
