During the Fifth Annual Florida Patriot Ceremony, Judge Robert J. Egan was honored alongside six other jurists across the state of Florida for his service to both our community and country.
Judge Egan served in the U.S. Army from 1987-1995. He worked as a platoon TOW missile gunner for a year before being promoted to Company Training Non-Commissioned Officer where he was responsible for maintaining compliance for a 150-soldier company for weapons proficiency, classroom instruction, and physical training requirements. He received two medals during his service – the Good Conduct Medal and Army Commendation Medal.
Since joining the bench in 2008, Judge Egan has supported the Central Florida community in countless ways. He leads our Inside the Courts annual educational program, helping residents gain a better understanding of the judicial process. He launched the Ninth’s Exhibit A: Family Court Art Challenge in partnership with Orange County Public Schools, and previously, he continued Retired Judge John Kest’s Brown Bag Luncheon series.
Judge Egan currently serves as the Associate Administrative Judge for the Juvenile Delinquency and Dependency Court, where his commitment to professionalism and service sets a tone that resonates throughout our circuit. Through his outreach work, he continually promotes professionalism, including civility, integrity, and respect for the judicial system.
Congratulations, Judge Egan, on this well-deserved recognition!
