The 2019-2020 General Assignment Order

Posted by Bruce D. Greenberg on Jul 9, 2019 in Administrative matters, Appellate Division, Judges | 0 comments
Chief Justice Rabner has issued the general Assignment Order for 2019-2020. It is available here. As occurs every year, the eight Appellate Division Parts have been reshuffled.

Those two judges, as well as Judges Koblitz, Alvarez, Fisher, Yannotti, and Fuentes remain as Presiding Judges of their respective Parts.

Posted by Bruce D. Greenberg on Apr 11, 2019 in Appellate Division, Judges, Standards of review, Statutory interpretation | 0 comments
Correa v. Grossi, 458 N.J. Super. 571 (App. Div. 2019).  Multiple pieces of related legislation can be inconsistent, and courts are called on to harmonize them using classic principles of statutory interpretation.  Today’s opinion by Judge Reisner applied de novo review to the purely legal issues involved and reached a commonsense result in reconciling facially conflicting election law statutes. By virtue of a 1974 amendment, N.J.S.A. 19:23-22.4 requires that sample ballots for primary elections be printed in English and Spanish where 10% of a district’s registered voters have...
