== Biography ==
Born in Lakeland, Florida, Canady graduated with a B.A. from Haverford College in 1976 and a J.D. from Yale Law School in 1979. He was admitted to the bar the same year and began his practice in Lakeland. In 1983, he was hired as the legal counsel for the Central Florida Regional Planning Commission. From 1984 to 1990, Canady served as a member of the Florida House of Representatives, initially elected as a conservative Democrat, he switched parties after his 1986 re-election. The move created much hard feelings as it happened almost immediately after he accepted Democratic money for his re-election campaign. He ran for the Florida State Senate in 1990, but was unsuccessful.
In 1992, Canady made a successful bid for the U.S. House of Representatives, narrowly defeating his Democratic opponent Tom Mims. In Congress, Canady was credited for coining the term "partial-birth abortion" while developing the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 1995.〔Gordon, Alex. ("The Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003" ). ''Harvard Journal on Legislation''. Volume 41, Number 2, Summer 2004. (see footnote 15)〕〔H.R.1833. (To amend title 18, United States Code, to ban partial-birth abortions ).〕 According to Keri Folmar, the lawyer responsible for the bill's language, the term was developed in early 1995 in a meeting among herself, Canady and National Right to Life Committee lobbyist Douglas Johnson.〔Gorney, Cynthia. ( Gambling With Abortion ). ''Harper's'' Magazine, November 2004.〕 Canady could not find this particular abortion practice named in any medical textbook and therefore he and his aides named it.〔Simon, Adam. ( "Elite Discourse, Programming and Survey Response in the Partial Birth Abortion Debate" ) (March 2003).〕 He was one of the managers appointed to conduct the impeachment proceedings of President Bill Clinton. He did not seek re-election to a fifth term in 2000, keeping a term limits pledge he made in 1992.
After leaving Congress, Canady served as general counsel for Florida Governor Jeb Bush before he was appointed a judge on the Second Florida District Court of Appeal in 2002, taking seat in November of that year. On August 27, 2008, Governor Charlie Crist appointed Canady to the Supreme Court of Florida to replace Justice Raoul Cantero, who was returning to private practice. He became the 82nd Associate Justice of the Florida Supreme Court on September 6, 2008.〔("Justice Charles Canady: Starting a New Career" ) ''The Ledger'', September 7, 2008.〕
