Home Honorable Madeline Singas

 

 

In June 2021, Judge Singas’s appointment to the New York Court of Appeals was confirmed. She is the 9th woman appointed to the Court. The daughter of Greek immigrants, Judge Singas grew up in Astoria. She is a graduate of the Bronx High School of Science, Barnard College, Columbia University, and Fordham University Law School.

Judge Singas began her legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in Queens County. In 2006, she joined the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office and served the most vulnerable victims—children, the elderly, and victims of domestic and sexual abuse. In 2015, and again in 2019, she was elected Nassau County District Attorney, a county of nearly 1.4 million residents.

During her tenure on the Court, Judge Singas developed the Judges for Career Opportunities for Refugees (J-COR) program to assist Afghan refugees.

The proud mother of college aged twins, Judge Singas lives on Long Island with her husband.
