"Mere policy disagreement, however, is insufficient to support the state's environmental claims against federal defendants," according to a memorandum filed by the U.S. Department of Justice, which stated that New Jersey's claims fail under a differential standard of review. "And rather than support its claims by otherwise engaging with the robust record at issue, the state instead relies on superficial arguments or selective interpretation of the record."

"We must ensure these workers are treated humanely and afforded the same respect as all workers are entitled to, especially given the essential and necessary care and support they provide to New Jersey families," bill sponsor Sen. Richard Codey said.

"Because teachers are not licensed persons under the AMS, the court should not have dismissed the complaint's allegations pertaining to the teacher's alleged conduct," the per curiam opinion said. "Given the Board's motion was based solely on Washington's failure to supply an AOM, there was no basis to dismiss the entirety of her complaint—particularly, allegations regarding the teacher."

"I can understand that people who are involved in low-level offenses, I don't believe that is a serious impact on jury decision-making," said Sen. Jon Bramnick. "But people involved in violent crimes, who have spent serious time in jail, and are still on probation or parole, I believe they lose the right to judge another defendant and whether that defendant is innocent or guilty."

"Having reviewed the record, we discern no abuse of discretion in the trial court's determination as it relates to the counterclaims," the opinion said. "In short, ARF simply did not provide Seaside with any information that would support the counterclaims. Moreover, Seaside was prejudiced by those non-responses because without that information it could not prepare a defense or even move for summary judgment."

"I think what employers would really like from the Legislature is more certainty. Not making laws that, to figure out what it means, you have to go to litigation," David A.
