New in New Jersey

By Anne Skove, Esq.

Meet New Jersey's new state court administrator, Judge Glenn Grant.

Judge Grant is a family court judge, vegan, former college wrestler, and New York City marathon runner. He's known for bringing the Newark Municipal Court back from the brink of backlog, and for presiding over one of New Jersey's most notorious family cases.

Now, he can add Administrative Director of the New Jersey Courts to his list of accomplishments. Welcome, Judge Grant!

Appellate Division Judge Philip S. Carchman has served as administrative director since 2004. He will return to the bench and serve as presiding judge of Part F.
