Rick Scott Names Rodolfo Ruiz to the Miami-Dade County Court

Gov. Rick Scott has appointed Rodolfo Rudy A. Ruiz II, of Coral Gables, to the Miami-Dade County Court.

Rudy has built a reputation as a smart, diligent and committed attorney at both the trial and appellate levels, Scott stated in a release. He will bring these qualities to the bench as he continues a career of public service.

Ruiz, 32, has been an assistant county attorney with the Miami-Dade County attorneys office since 2009. He previously practiced with White and Case from 2006 to 2008. From 2005 to 2006, he was a law clerk to Judge Federico A. Moreno of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

Ruiz fills the vacancy created when Judge Norma Lindsey was appointed to the 11th Judicial Circuit Court.
