Tired of Partisan Noise? How NJ's High Court Finds Consensus

  • Summary

  • At the New Jersey state supreme court, all of the justices seem to get along–even though they maintain a 4-3 partisan split in their ranks. The unique system, based on an unwritten rule that the governor will select justices and maintain a 4-3 balance politically, leads to an extraordinary amount of agreement among the justices. And attorneys like it, too. On this episode of our podcast, On The Merits, senior correspondent Alex Ebert talks about how the New Jersey Supreme Court maintains its system when so many state supreme courts have become partisan battlegrounds, and how attorneys prepare to argue in this unusual environment.
