The Hon. Thomas A. Stander (Ret.) was a justice of the Monroe County Supreme Court in the Seventh Judicial District of New York. He was elected to the Supreme Court in 1990 and was retained in subsequent elections. Stander retired in 2018.


During his tenure on the Supreme Court, he served as the presiding justice of the Commercial Division in Monroe County, of which he is credited with helping to establish. Stander began his judicial career as a village justice for the Village of Fairport in 1975. He also served as an acting judge for the Rochester City Court from 1980 to 1991.


Stander received a B.A. in American history from Denison University in 1967. He went on to earn a J.D. from Syracuse University College of Law in 1970.


While in law school, Stander served as a law clerk with the Onondaga County Family Court (1969 to 1970). After his clerkship, he joined the Corporate Law Department of Aetna Life and Casualty Insurance Company.


Then, in 1972, Stander left his corporate position to join Woods, Oviatt, Gilman, Sturman & Clarke. He practiced business, contract, corporate, and tax matters as an associate with the firm until becoming a named partner at Sullivan, Peters, Burns & Stander in 1977. Prior to joining the bench, Stander was a partner at Buyck, Springer, Fitzsimmons, Fitzpatrick, DesMarteau & Stander. He had joined the firm in 1981 and served as a managing partner for one year beginning in 1986.


He was a frequent lecturer for the Monroe County Bar Association and the New York State Bar Association. Stander also traveled to Russia as part of the Rule of Law Program to educate the Russian judiciary on the Commercial Division and the American system of law.


His memberships included the Seventh Judicial District Supreme Court Judges Association (president), the Litigation Counsel (co-chair), the American Inns of Court (president), and the Monroe County Bar Association (board of trustees).


After retiring from the bench, Stander became senior counsel at Adams Leclair LLP in 2008. As such, he serves as a mediator on issues involving breach of contract, personal injury litigation, construction, medical malpractice, and commercial and business disputes.


In his free time, he enjoys tennis, golf, biking, and spending time with his family.
