Senate Judiciary OKs 7 judicial nominees for Superior Court

The Senate Judiciary Committee gave the green light to seven nominees for the Superior Court, including four from Essex County where judicial vacancies are the highest. The nominees will be voted on by the full Senate on Monday. The New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) has encouraged the Senate and the governor to work together to nominate qualified judges who reflect the rich diversity of New Jersey to meet the ever-growing demands of the courts in light of post-pandemic filings.
