Statement from Governor Murphy Applauding the Confirmation of 11 New Superior Court Judges

12/11/2023

“For the past six years, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to ensuring vacancies in our courts are filled by highly qualified individuals who have demonstrated an unwavering devotion to justice, integrity, and the rule of law. I am especially proud that my Administration has worked closely with the Senate to increase the diversity of our judges, ensuring that the bench looks more like the people of our state. Today's slate of 11 new judges, both majority women and majority candidates of color, will undoubtedly make significant contributions to our state’s judiciary.

“I thank Senate President Scutari, Senate Judiciary Chairman Stack, and the rest of the Senate for moving the nominees through the confirmation process and look forward to continuing to work with the Senate to advance the other Superior Court nominations that are pending, as well as nominating additional candidates in the coming weeks.”
