New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) President Kimberly A. Yonta testified before the Assembly State and Local Government Committee last week in support of legislation that provides protections for judges and prosecutors. A-1649 (Quijano) prohibits the publication of addresses and telephone numbers of judges and prosecutors. The NJSBA strongly backs the measure as an important first step in enhancing protections of judges following the attack on U.S. District Court Judge Esther Salas.
“Such an attack is every judge’s nightmare. Yet these threats are visited upon judges across the court system, whether they handle family, civil or criminal matters,” said Yonta. “These threats are an attack not just on individual stewards of justice, but on the entire system, a cornerstone of our democracy.”
