New Jersey Supreme Court Associate Justice Lee A. Solomon is set to retire upon reaching the mandatory retirement age on August 17. In a recent interview, Justice Solomon reflected on his time in the judiciary and how his extensive legal experience, including roles as a Camden County assignment judge, a former assemblyman, a state and federal prosecutor, and president of the state Board of Public Utilities, influenced his approach as a justice. Appointed to the high court in June 2014 by Governor Chris Christie, Solomon shared that he always strived to retain the perspective of a trial lawyer throughout his tenure.
In his own words, Justice Solomon expressed a desire for a lasting positive remembrance of his multifaceted career in public service: “I want people to remember me fondly as a member of the court at every level and, frankly, at every job. That is the best I could ask for.” To learn more about Justice Solomon’s reflections and career, please visit the New Jersey Law Journal.
