  • Supreme Court Committee on Access and Fairness, The Supreme Court Committee on Access and Fairness works to ensure the courts provide equal justice for all., On This Page, Supreme Court Advisory Committee on Access and Fairness, Supreme Court Advisory Committee on Access and Fairness, Richard J. Hughes Justice Complex P.O. Box 037 Trenton, New Jersey 08625-0037, About the Committee , To ensure that the Judiciary, as an institution, embraces access and fairness as an integral part of its core values, Chief Justice Stuart Rabner created the Supreme Court Advisory Committee on Access and Fairness. The work of the committee will help to set the tone for the operation of the Judiciary for the next quarter century and beyond. The committee is comprised of judges, judiciary staff and members of various public organizations. Membership is diverse, with talent from the bench, vicinage management, central office leadership, and others such as bar associations, Legal Services of New Jersey and Sheriffs' Association of New Jersey. The committee focuses on how to administer justice in the face of such challenges as the continued increase in the number of self-represented litigants, the economic pressures applied to litigants and to the courts, and the need to treat each case and each litigant with dignity and respect., Why is this important?, The millions of litigants who come to the courts each year for a just resolution of their cases must believe they are being treated fairly, with or without counsel. They must have full access to the courts, regardless of income, language barriers, disability, cultural diversity, or educational level. The Judiciary is guided by its four core values: independence, integrity, fairness and quality service. Access and fairness are the foundation of those values and shape the experience of every litigant. Fairness cannot be attained without access to the courts, the most important component of quality service., 2020: Supreme Court Action Plan, The New Jersey Judiciary is committed to ensuring access and fairness for everyone, and to seeking out and eliminating barriers to equality wherever they exist. Through the leadership of Chief Justice Stuart Rabner and the New Jersey Supreme Court, the Judiciary continues to work diligently to uncover and address institutional obstacles to justice for all people, especially those who have been disadvantaged by the court system and denied true justice… 2020: Supreme Court Action Plan Read more .  , Access and Fairness Timeline, Without question, the New Jersey Judiciary has accomplished a great deal to incorporate its core values into its everyday work. The Judiciary has created a coordinated and integrated approach to problem solving through conferences, committees, expanded training, and communication with staff and the public. But as the Judiciary moves forward, it must place new and greater emphasis on access to the courts and fairness in its procedures. Some of the Judiciary's successes include:, 2017: Criminal Justice Reform, Through the leadership of New Jersey Chief Justice Stuart Rabner, all three branches of state government worked together to reform the criminal justice system, which required a constitutional amendment, the enactment of the bail/speedy trial reform law, and revisions to the rules of court. New Jersey has now moved from a system that relied principally on setting monetary bail as a condition of release to a risk-based system that is more objective, and thus fairer to defendants because it is unrelated to their ability to pay monetary bail. A risk-based system promotes the safety of the community, and also considers whether the defendant will appear for future court appearances and whether the defendant is likely to obstruct the criminal justice process., 2011: Supreme Court Advisory Committee on Access and Fairness, New Jersey Chief Justice Stuart Rabner established the Supreme Court Advisory Committee on Access and Fairness ("the Committee") to guide the judiciary in adapting to current and future demands on the courts. The committee focus is on how to best administer justice in the face of challenges such as the continued increase in the number of self-represented litigants, the growing multicultural population in New Jersey, the need for expanded language services, the economic pressures on litigants and the courts, and the need to ensure quality service and to treat each case and each litigant with dignity and respect., 2009: Advisory Group on Self-Representation in the New Jersey Courts, The Advisory Group on Self-Representation in the New Jersey Courts (Advisory Group) was established to assess successful programs, policies, and procedures of courts nationwide, including those in New Jersey, and to explore systemic causes for dissatisfaction or ineffectiveness among those in the pro se community as well as opportunities for innovative progress. The Advisory Group developed a set of recommendations that represent long-term strategies designed to enhance the public's experience using the New Jersey Court system while maintaining the Judiciary's integrity in the delivery of fair, impartial justice., 2005: Judiciary Ombudsman Program, Each vicinage offers a dedicated customer service manager to help the public navigate the courts. The ombudsman assists litigants and other members of the public by explaining court procedures, programs and services; helping self-represented litigants; directing the public to appropriate offices and court staff; working with the various divisions to resolve customer complaints; referring customers to relevant social service or legal agencies; distributing brochures and informational material; and developing court tours and community education and outreach programs., 2004: Supreme Court Webcasts, Webcasting of Supreme Court arguments began in January 2005 in order to provide the public, students, attorneys, reporters, and other interested viewers with the opportunity to watch the oral arguments live on the New Jersey Judiciary's web site njcourts.gov. A collaboration between Rutgers Law School and the New Jersey Judiciary made webcasts of New Jersey Supreme Court oral arguments permanently available on the Rutgers web site. At the end of 30 days the webcasts are transferred to the Rutgers Law School archives., 2002: New Jersey Municipal Court NJMCDirect, NJMCDirect allows drivers to view tickets online and pay penalties by credit card., 2000: Judiciary Electronic Filing and Imaging System (JEFIS), The Judiciary Electronic Filing and Imaging System (JEFIS) allows attorneys to file documents in special civil part cases and in foreclosure actions online., 1998: Ad Hoc Working Group on Pro Se Materials, The Ad Hoc Working Group on Pro Se Materials was formed in 1998 to address the demands placed upon the courts by the growing number of self-represented litigants. The work of the group focused on the creation of forms and brochures, and significant progress was made in the development of self-help forms frequently used in the civil, family, criminal, tax and appellate courts., 1997: Task Force on Gay and Lesbian Issues, Composed of judges, lawyers, non-profit leaders and academics, the 27-member task force was appointed by the Supreme Court in June 1997. In focus groups and in its survey of judges, lawyers, litigants and witnesses, the task force found that most respondents do not believe discrimination based on sexual orientation is a pervasive problem in the New Jersey court system. The survey did indicate, however, that those who identified themselves as gay or lesbian reported problems to a greater degree than the overall population of respondents. It its final report, the task force made recommendations for ongoing education for judges and court employees, and communication to staff, litigants and their attorneys about how to report incidents of bias or discrimination., 1995: Judiciary InfoNet and Internet Websites, The websites were developed to ensure Judiciary information and resources were made available to the public and court employees. The external site, njcourts.gov, has since gained national recognition for its comprehensiveness and social media usage, 1995: Judiciary Advisory Committee on ADA Compliance, The Supreme Court constituted this committee to recommend to the chief justice goals, policies, practices and procedures to be followed by the Judiciary to comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and related laws. Attention is given to training, communication, compliance, enforcement and review of procedures relating to the ADA and the needs of the elderly., 1983: Supreme Court Committee on Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement, Since the early 1980s the Judiciary determined that “the same bias that has affected all of society for so long exists in all of its institutions, including the Judiciary." To ensure that fair and equitable access to the courts for racial and ethnic minority court users, judges and employees, the court designed and implemented a comprehensive action plan to "rid the court of all vestiges of bias and discrimination in the state court system." The Supreme Court Committee on Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement, with the collaboration of its local vicinages advisory committee on minority concerns monitors and reports on the progress made in implementing the system-wide recommendations and institutional enhancements., 1983: Equal Employment Opportunity Reaffirmation Statement, "The New Jersey Judiciary is committed to the principles and goals of fairness, equality, courtesy and respect for all individuals." These principles are embodied in the Policy Statement on Equal Employment Opportunity, Affirmative Action and Anti-Discrimination and are reflected in the principles and policies that guide the activities and operations of the court system as an employer and as an arbiter of justice. The EEO/AA Master Plan spells out in detail these operational principles and guidelines; outcome measures are routinely reported to the court and the public., 1983: Law Clerk Diversity Initiative, In an effort to increase minority participation in the Law Clerk Program, the Judiciary, as a result of data collection by the Minority Concerns Committee, implemented this initiative to increase awareness in the program and actively recruit minorities into Law Clerk positions., 1982: Supreme Court Task Force on Interpreter and Translation Services, The Supreme Court adopted the principle of "equal access to courts for linguistic minorities" in 1985, acting on the recommendations of the Supreme Court Task Force on Interpreter and Translation Services. The Court reiterated its support for that principle in 1993 when it stated in its Action Plan on Minority Concerns that, "the courts and their support services shall be equally accessible for all persons regardless of the degree to which they are able to communicate effectively in the English language." Chief Justice Deborah T. Poritz, 1982: Supreme Court Committee on Women in the Courts, Since 1982, the Judiciary has monitored its progress in achieving gender fairness in the New Jersey Courts. Periodic surveys and focus groups guide the current Supreme Court Committee on Women in the Courts in its efforts to address ongoing issues through training and educational programs for judges, attorneys, courts staff and others., Did you know?, There are a lot of interesting facts about the New Jersey Judiciary relating to access and fairness. This section includes a sample of data and factual highlights. The New Jersey Judiciary's website,  NJ Courts Website njcourts.gov , has won national and international awards. New Jersey was praised for "a great one-stop-shop for most court services in the state." The website, redesigned in 2017, is a critical resource for the public to find court decisions, pay motor vehicle fines, learn about jobs and volunteer opportunities, download forms and instructions for litigants representing themselves in court, get information to request a court interpreter or an ADA accommodation and more. The site is “mobile friendly” and can be viewed on any pc, phone or tablet. In 1995 the New Jersey Supreme Court constituted the Judiciary Advisory Committee on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance. The committee recommends to the Chief Justice goals, policies, practices and procedures to be followed by the Judiciary to comply with the requirements of the ADA and related laws. There is an ADA Coordinator in every vicinage to assist the public with accommodations. ADA Title II Fair Treatment Court Access for Persons with Disabilities In 2020 the New Jersey Judiciary recorded 900 Americans with Disabilities Act Title II accommodations. This includes the municipal courts. More than 70,000 interpreting events occur in New Jersey Superior Courts every year; court interpreters are needed in more than 100 languages and New Jersey courts provide court interpreting services free of charge. Updated New Jersey Judiciary Language Access Plan (Supersedes Directive #10-22) New Jersey Judiciary Language Access Plan Court interpreting Statistics Court Interpreting Statistics /node/149266 There is a Judiciary Ombudsman in every vicinage. These dedicated customer service managers provide one-on-one specialized services to court users, work with the community to promote public trust and confidence in the courts and make recommendations to improve court services. Many ombudsmen regularly hold public workshops/seminars on topics such as foreclosure, landlord/tenant, child support and custody, divorce, and expungements. Each year, ombudsman assist over 75,000 court users statewide. Judiciary Ombudsman Program Ombudsman Program Calendar of Court Seminars and Public Events Calendar of Court Seminars and Public Events The New Jersey Judiciary is committed to the principles and goals of fairness, equality, courtesy and respect for all individuals. These principles are embodied in the Policy Statement on Equal Employment Opportunity, Affirmative Action and Anti-Discrimination and are reflected in the principles and policies that guide the activities and operations of the court system as an employer and as an arbiter of justice.

Judiciary Policy Statement on EEO/AA and Anti-Discrimination Judiciary Policy Statement on EEO/AA and Anti-Discrimination Equal Employment Opportunity/ Affirmative Action and Anti-Discrimination Master Plan EEO Judiciary Master Plan The  Supreme Court Committee on Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement Supreme Court Committee on Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement  is tasked with assisting and advising the Supreme Court with the implementation of court-approved recommendations designed to "rid the court of all vestiges of bias and discrimination." The program’s name change and updated charge (August 13, 2019) reflect the expansion of the Committee’s focus beyond issues relating to race and ethnicity exclusively to also include issues relating to religious, social, cultural and economic non-majority groups and to sexual orientation and gender identity. The New Jersey Judiciary has realized numerous advances through the efforts of the Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement Program. One example of such change is seen in the increased diversity, inclusion, and representation on the bench and in senior management., JUDGES* (Supreme Court and Superior Court-Appellate and Trial Divisions),  , MID-1980s, CURRENT , (as of December 2020), Minority Judges 4.3% 18.0% Women Judges 7.1% 36.2%, SENIOR MANAGEMENT POSITIONS , (includes Court Executives 3a, 3b, and 4 combined statewide),  , MID-1980s, CURRENT , (as of January 2021), Racial/Ethnic Minorities in Senior Management Positions 8.3% 27.3%

It was designated as the day to remember the struggles of workers in their fight for better wages and working conditions. This was also the day when the Soviet Union and other communist countries demonstrated their military strength with massive parades. The May Day parades in the Soviet Union would display military troops with new war weapons, military vehicles, missiles and tanks. To redirect the American public’s focus from military strength to the virtues and principles of government under law, American Bar Association (ABA) President Charles S. Rhynes, drafted a proclamation declaring May 1 Law Day. The purpose of Law Day is to increase the public’s awareness of the rule of law, praises our constitutional system of government and our great heritage under the rule of law. On February 5, 1958, President Eisenhower signed the proclamation declaring May 1 to be Law Day in the United States. Three years later, Congress passed a joint resolution establishing the official date for Law Day as May 1.
