| Description | New Jersey Supreme Court Chief Justice Stuart Rabner said today that he will not fill the vacancy left by Justice Faustino Fernandez-Vina, leaving the court with a complement of only six members until the State Senate confirms nominees to fill either Fernandez-Vina’s seat or that of retired Justice Jaynee LaVecchia.
“Since the adoption of the 1947 Constitution, Governors have abided by the tradition that no more than four members of the Supreme Court can be affiliated with a single political party,” Rabner said. “In keeping with that valued tradition, I am not assigning an additional member of the Appellate Division to fill the vacancy created by Justice Fernandez-Vina’s mandatory retirement.” |
