In the Matter of Thomas L. Yaccarino, Judge of the Superior Court of the State of New Jersey

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the three‑judge panel’s authority, held that the removal proceeding afforded the respondent due process, rejected constitutional challenges to the removal statute, found Judge Yaccarino’s conduct—including undisclosed liquor‑license interests, ex parte communications, and self‑dealing—violated multiple canons of judicial conduct and the state constitution, and ordered his removal despite his claim of medical disability.
