Gov. Rick Scott has appointed Eric W. Hendon, of Miami, to the 11th Judicial Circuit Court.

Hendon, 56, has been a Miami-Dade County judge from 1999 to 2003 and since 2006, taking the break to practice privately.

Judge Hendon has an exemplary record of service to the people of Miami-Dade County, Scott stated in a release. He is a fair, honest, and distinguished judge and understands and adheres to the important principle that judges apply, and does not make the law.

Hendon will fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Joseph Farina.
