Orange County Supreme Court Justice dies Covid-19 on the bench since January

MONROE - Orange County state Supreme Court Justice Steven Milligram has died from COVID-19, the Orange County Bar Association confirmed on Tuesday.

Milligram, 66, of Monroe, was a partner at Catania, Mahon, Milligram and Rider (now Catania, Mahon & Rider) and served eight years as Monroe Town Justice until his election in November to the Supreme Court justice seat for the Ninth Judicial District. Milligram took office in January.

“We’re devastated by the loss. He was a terrific attorney, skilled, a great litigator,” said Mark Starkman, current president of the county bar. “A nice guy, on top of everything else.”

Milligram was also a past president of the Orange County Bar Association, and was a well-respected medical malpractice defense lawyer in private practice.
