Good Tuesday morning!
They say there’s always a Jersey connection. But it’s not always a good one.
You’re likely aware that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died after the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, was a New Jersey native.
NEWARK Gov. Phil Murphy on Monday nominated Rachel Wainer Apter to be an associate justice of the state Supreme Court, making his pick to replace the retiring Jaynee LaVecchia.
Apter, 40, is currently the head of the Civil Rights Division within the state Attorney General s Office and previously served as counsel to the attorney general.
A Harvard Law School graduate, Apter was an attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union and also a clerk for the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was at the center of Monday s nomination.
Murphy noted the day would have been Ginsburg s 88th birthday, and the event was held at the newly re-christened Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hall at Rutgers Law School, where the justice had been a professor.
