Douglas Wolfson
Gov. Chris Christie today withdrew the planned return of a former Superior Court judge to the state bench.
Christie last week had informed the Senate he intended to nominate eight judges, including Douglas Wolfson of North Brunswick. Today he informed the Senate that nomination was withdrawn.
Wolfson, 58, a registered Democrat, is a partner at Schwartz, Simon, Edlestein & Celso in Whippany and an adjunct professor at Rutgers Law School in Newark. He was a Superior Court judge from 1991 to 2002, then left the bench to become director of the state Division of Law and assistant attorney general of New Jersey at the start of Gov. Jim McGreevey's administration.
