In the Matter of Judge Edward J. Seaman, a Judge of the Superior Court of the State of New Jersey

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that Judge Edward J. Seaman’s conduct constituted a clear-and-convincing pattern of sexual harassment that violated multiple canons of the Code of Judicial Conduct and Rule 2:15-8(a)(6). The Court affirmed that uncorroborated victim testimony can satisfy the clear-and-convincing standard in disciplinary proceedings. Accordingly, the Court imposed a sixty‑day suspension without pay and required completion of a sexual‑harassment education program.
