Supreme Court of New Jersey

In Re Pl 2001, Chapter 362

April 19, 2006186 N.J. 368

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the Probation Officer Community Safety Unit Act is unconstitutional because it infringes the Court's exclusive constitutional authority over court administration and violates the separation of powers doctrine. The Court also rejected arguments that the dispute should be resolved by arbitration or that the judiciary should recuse itself.
