Statement from Senator Nicholas J. Sacco on the nomination of Rachel Wainer Apter as an Associate Justice for the New Jersey Supreme Court

“It is very fitting to see the announcement of the nomination of Rachel Wainer Apter as an Associate Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court on Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s birthday.

“Ms. Wainer Apter’s career has demonstrated a passion and commitment to justice and equality and she has shown herself to be a fierce defender of the rights of those most vulnerable to discrimination.

“Her nomination is a continuation of the lasting legacy of Justice Ginsberg here in New Jersey, and the country, as a new generation is poised to ensure we continue and build upon the ideals of equal justice under the law and equal opportunity to succeed.”
