New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Monday signed legislation that creates 20 new Superior Court judgeships, bringing the total number of authorized positions up to 463 from the present 443.
On the same day, the state Senate Judiciary Committee approved the nominations of 12 new Superior Court judges. If the nominees are confirmed by the full Senate tomorrow, which is expected, there will be a total of 429 sitting judges, which Christie said is the highest level in more than a decade. He will have to make nominations for the 20 slots created by the new law.
