"There is a proposal to create a court of appeals that mirrors the federal court system," Senate President Nicholas P. Scutari said. "In the current system, you take the best of the Superior Court judges, leaving that court depleted.

"Because the scope of the agreement in this case would bar individuals from describing an employer's discriminatory conduct, the agreement encompasses speech the LAD protects," Chief Justice Stuart Rabner said.
