Syosset Judge Ross to Receive Award

Syosset resident Robert A. Ross, supervising judge of the Nassau County Matrimonial Center, will receive the Rick Keidel Memorial Tribute Wednesday from the Nassau County Bar Association Matrimonial Law Committee.

The award is presented each year to an individual for his or her dedication and contributions to the committee and to the practice of matrimonial law. The tribute was established in 2006 after the passing of then-committee chair Keidel. 

"Justice Ross is an extraordinary supervising judge," said Nassau County Administrative Judge Anthony Marano. "He is an innovative jurist and a tireless advocate for those who rely on our system of justice." 

Justice Ross was appointed supervising judge of the Nassau County Matrimonial Center in 2004.  In 2006 Justice Ross was appointed to the New York State Matrimonial Commission, and in 2010 was appointed to the New York State Matrimonial Practice Advisory Committee.

Justice Ross has written many published and leading decisions in the field of matrimonial law, and has developed alternative dispute resolutions, including the Children Come First Initiative in Nassau County.

The presentation will take place at 5:30 p.m. at the Nassau County Bar Association,  at 15th and West streets in Mineola.
