Peter Verniero was quoted about New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s judicial legacy, including his impact on the New Jersey Supreme Court.
As seen in the article, “Former Supreme Court Justice Peter Verniero, now a member at Sills Cummis & Gross P.C., echoed that Murphy made ‘high caliber’ picks for the court who have potentially long tenures ahead of them.
“‘The appointment of even one member of the Supreme Court can have an impact,’ the former justice wrote in an email. ‘Gov. Murphy has appointed five new members, so his impact on the court — and on the judiciary as a whole — will be that much greater.’”
