  • 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.
