Senate Committee advances nominations of 17 Superior court judges
The Senate Judiciary Committee this morning advanced the renominations of 17 Superior Court judges, averting a fight that could have exacerbated a judge shortage in Essex County.
The renominations of the judges, from eight counties, now head to the Senate for a full vote on Thursday.
Democrats have said Gov. Chris Christie told them he would dump some Superior Court judges in the coming months. He did not renominate one judge from Essex and the renominations for several others came very close to the expiration of their terms. (Spoto, The Star-Ledger)
