Judge Edward Moss
"Ed Moss was our presenter Thursday night, giving us an educational lesson on how judges are nominated and retained in the State of Colorado. Ed is a long-term, active member of the Westminster Rotary Club. He has visited our club several times, and we look forward to having him back in the future with other topics to share. Ed continues to give his time, treasure, and talent not only to Rotary but also to our community by serving on boards, including SRB. I have included a bio below that describes Ed’s storied career!
After 24 years as a civil litigator and 16 years as a Colorado District Court Judge, Ed Moss retired in August 2020. Before being appointed to the bench, he had a varied career as a U.S. Army officer; United States Supreme Court intern; United States District Court law clerk; commercial trial lawyer (emphasizing real estate, oil and gas, and general commercial law); a member of the Westminster, Colorado city council; and Mayor of Westminster, Colorado.
As a District Court Judge, Ed presided over hundreds of family law, civil, criminal, mental health, juvenile delinquency, and child dependency and neglect trials. He is a frequent lecturer on attorney and judicial ethics and was the 2016-2017 Chair of the Colorado Bar Association Ethics Committee. When in private practice, Ed was named Volunteer Lawyer of the Year by Metro Volunteer Lawyers."
