  • Decidedly Co-Equal: the New Jersey Supreme Court
    1 DECIDEDLY CO-EQUAL: THE NEW JERSEY SUPREME COURT G. Alan Tarr and Robert F. Williams At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the New Jersey Supreme Court enjoys a stature and an independence that are the envy of most other state supreme courts. Commentators regularly rank the New Jersey Supreme Court as one of the nation's leading courts--indeed, one commentator in the mid-1980s described it as "the most innovative [court] in the country"1Band other state supreme courts look for guidance to the Court's pioneering rulings. These rulings have placed it in the center of--and frequently in the forefront of--a wide array of controversial issues. The New Jersey Court's rulings have reformed the state's system of school finance, prompting the enactment of a state income tax, and opened up New Jersey's suburbs to low-income housing. Other rulings have safeguarded abortion rights, outlawed surrogate motherhood, restricted the use of the death penalty, and transformed the rights of injured parties seeking to collect damages. When other state supreme courts have taken an activist stance, they have often encountered opposition in the form of constitutional amendments designed to overturn their rulings and campaigns for removing or replacing justices. In New Jersey, in contrast, the Court's rulings have not led to serious political repercussions. No governor has refused to reappoint sitting justices because of disagreements with their decisions, and even the Court's most controversial rulings have not been overturned by constitutional amendment. What has led the New Jersey Supreme Court to play such an aggressive role in the political life of the state? And what has insulated the Court from political attack? To answer these questions, one must look back to the origins of a modern court system in New Jersey.

  • Washington, D.C. Update – September 2016
    GOVERNMENT RELATIONS AND PUBLIC POLICY September 2016 This is an advertisement. Washington, D.C. Update Clinton and Trump: A Policy Comparison This month, we have a special edition of the Baker Donelson Washington Update focusing on what to expect from the 45th President of the United States. Of course we are all waiting on the November election to find out whether that will be Secretary Hillary Clinton or Mr. Donald Trump; in the meantime, we will examine a number of the candidates’ statements, proposals and announced transition teams to get a sense of what we can expect when a new president is sworn into office on January 20, 2017. Here is what is included in this month’s Washington Update: • Taxes – Clinton and Trump Propose Diametrically Opposed Tax Plans • Trade and Investment – A Rare Area of Agreement on TPP • The Economy – Two Differing Ways to Grow the Economy and Create Shared Prosperity • Energy and Environment – Opposites on Oil, Gas and Coal; Potential Overlap in Nuclear Power • Health Care – The Fight Over the ACA Continues • Presidential Transition Teams Regarding the potential for a long-term budget and appropriations deal or the future of defense spending, other than a commitment by Secretary Clinton to provide “budgetary certainty to facilitate reforms and enable long-term planning,” these issues have not been meaningfully addressed by either campaign. For additional information regarding the current budget decisions, please see the Washington, D.C. Fall Preview in which we examined the FY17 appropriations process and discussed the future of defense policy with former Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force retired General Carrol “Howie” Chandler.
