New Jersey Governor Makes a Push for Diversity

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie made a broad stroke for diversity on the state's Supreme Court on Jan. 23, nominating one man who would be the first openly gay justice, and another who would be the first Asian and first immigrant to serve. One nominee, Phillip H. Kwon, a Korean immigrant who lives in Bergen County, worked under Christie when Christie was the United States attorney for New Jersey, and now works in his administration as first assistant attorney general. The other nominee, Bruce A. Harris, was elected mayor of Chatham, NJ in November and is a lawyer with Greenberg Traurig, a prominent national firm. Besides being the first openly gay justice on the state's highest court, Harris would be its only black one, and just the third in its history. Click here to read more.
