Retired Justice Virginia Long was ahead of her time as a woman practicing law in the 1960s, and a woman on the Superior Court in the 1970s. She made her career on the bench, spending 15 years in the Appellate Division and 12 years on the Supreme Court, where she authored numerous opinions contending that the death penalty cannot be fairly and consistently applied. The Legislature would ultimately agree. She left to join Fox Rothschild in 2012—and only then, one might suppose, because she had reached the mandatory retirement age for judges.
