This survey of federal court practitioners about federal judges comes after a five-year period of relative stability in the District of New Jersey. Though there has been turnover, the continued presence of senior-status judges and the elevation of magistrate judges to the district court have kept many familiar faces on the bench.
What’s more, the district, magistrate and bankruptcy judges included in this survey and in our last, in 2008, have gained experience on the job, and with that the opportunity to improve their scores.
