                      HON. DANIEL M. DONOVAN, JR.

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 12, 2016

  Mr. DONOVAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor former Staten Island 
resident Jerry Judin's endless commitment to legal service in the 
public interest.
  Jerry's career as a public servant began as a Ranger for the National 
Park Service assigned to Liberty Island and the Statue of Liberty. 
After a short stint serving the public safety as an Air Traffic 
Controller, Jerry returned to school, attending night classes at 
Brooklyn Law School. Following law school, Jerry spent two years 
working for the Richmond County Family Court, before transferring to 
the Richmond County Surrogate's Court in 1982.
  For the last 34 years, Jerry has been a fixture in the Surrogate's 
Court, and in April of 2006 he was made the first ever Supervising 
Court Attorney in the Surrogate's Court. As he approaches retirement, 
he caps his career having served three Surrogates, the people of Staten 
Island, and the attorneys of Staten Island for a total of 36 years. He 
has served his community by lecturing before civic organizations on 
Staten Island, and the Richmond County Bar Association. He has taught 
Business Law at the College of Staten Island, as well as at Rutgers, 
while also serving on the Board of Directors of Meals on Wheels of 
Staten Island.
  Mr. Speaker, it is right and proper that we recognize Jerry Judin's 
dedication to serving his community and the legal profession. I thank 
him for all of his great work and I am proud to honor this great man 
who has consistently put others before himself.
