As a result of voter approval in November of 1992 of a constitutional amendment and pursuant to the provisions of the \"State Judicial Unification Act,\" P.L.1993, c.275 (C.2B:10-1 et seq.), the State is to assume certain costs of the judicial system;\nb.   The most important resource of the judicial system is its personnel;\nc.   State assumption of the costs of the judicial system offers the opportunity to bring judicial employees, whose positions were previously funded by the 21 counties, into a truly unified judiciary;\nd.   Both the representatives of the judiciary and the majority representative of the employees of the judiciary have freely and voluntarily entered into a letter of agreement, not part of this act, concerning certain aspects, as described therein, of the employer-employee relations process in the judiciary, which letter is enforceable in accordance with its terms;\ne.   It is, therefore, altogether fitting and proper to ensure fair treatment of county judicial employees upon their transfer to State service and in the process effectuate a unified judiciary so that its more than 7,800 trial court employees, together with the 1,500 State-level judicial employees, will provide greater effectiveness in the trial court operations, greater accountability in the courts and greater flexibility in meeting the demands placed on the State's judiciary.\nL.1994,c.162,s.2.","path":["TITLE 2B COURT ORGANIZATION AND CIVIL CODE"],"source_url":"https://pub.njleg.state.nj.us/statutes/STATUTES-TEXT.zip","current_through":"P.L.2025, c.405, and J.R.22","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T17:54:13Z","sha256":"e4e6a7a00927840eabdad55625dc94d0c5770539abc5cd1d2e7b1b3b8265f208","source_id":"us-nj","stale":true,"prev":"us-nj/n.j.-stat.-2b-11-1","next":"us-nj/n.j.-stat.-2b-11-3"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
