Friends and family of the late Judge Kaye Tertzag will host the Sixth Annual Tertzag Tribute Dinner on Wednesday, March 4. Tertzag died six years ago, having established a legacy of integrity and service to the State of Michigan, as well as a great example of love and devotion to his family and legion of friends.
The Sixth Annual Tertzag Tribute Dinner will be held at the Park Place Banquet Hall in Dearborn from 5:30 9:30 p.m.
Park Place is located at the corner of Park and Outer Drive, just south of Michigan Avenue. Tickets are $40 and include dinner and an open bar.
The Tertzag Tribute Dinner Committee has announced that the 2015 recipient of the Purple Sport Coat Award is Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Ed Ewell.
Tony Guerriero, last year’s recipient, will present the award.
Ewell graduated from Cass Technical High School. He obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan and his law degree from Wayne State University Law School. He was appointed to his position by Gov. Jennifer Granholm in 2003 to replace retired Judge George W. Crockett III.
Early in his career, Ewell worked as a law clerk for U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Damon Keith, Sixth Circuit. He also worked as an assistant U.S. attorney in Detroit where he served in the civil and criminal divisions before moving to the Wayne County Corporation Counsel office where he worked until his appointment to the bench.
