Hudson County Commissioners Honor Assignment Judge Peter Bariso on His RetirementJersey City- The Hudson County Board of Commissioners applaud, honor and commend Peter F. Bariso, Jr. for his extraordinary service as Judge of the Superior Court in Hudson County and congratulate him on his retirement. Peter F. Bariso, Jr. is an inspiring public servant whose integrity, professionalism and compassion greatly enhanced the quality of life of Hudson County residents; he is retiring as Assignment Judge of the Superior Court after 16 years of distinguished service on the Hudson County bench. Appointed to the New Jersey Superior Court in 2005 by Governor Richard J. Codey, Peter F. Bariso, Jr. served as the Presiding Judge of the Hudson Vicinage’s Civil Division from 2006 to 2012 and became Assignment Judge in 2012, giving him judicial responsibility for all trial courts in Hudson County, including the Superior Court and all municipal courts. Judge Peter F. Bariso, Jr. was a member of the Conference of Assignment Judges as well as the Judicial Council. He was also a member of the Advisory Committee on Expedited Civil Actions where he served as the Pre-Trial Subcommittee Chair. Judge Bariso is a former member of the Supreme Court Special Committee on Peremptory Challenges and Jury Voir Dire where he served as Chair of the Civil Subcommittee. He is also a former member of the Supreme Court Civil Practice Committee. Judge Peter F. Bariso, Jr. served as the Chair of the Conference of Civil Presiding Judges. He previously chaired both the Supreme Court Arbitration Advisory Committee and the Hudson County Advisory Committee on Minority Concerns. Judge Bariso is a member of the New Jersey State Bar Association, the Hudson County Bar Association and the Essex County Bar Association. Judge Peter F. Bariso, Jr. frequently lectures on civil litigation issues for the Judiciary, the New Jersey State Bar Association, the Hudson County Bar Association and the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education, among other organizations. He has been an instructor for ICLE’s Civil Law segment of the Skills and Methods course for newly admitted attorneys. Judge Bariso is a recipient of the NJICLE Distinguished Service Award for Excellence in Continuing Legal Education. Judge Peter F. Bariso, Jr. graduated from Rutgers University in 1976, where he received a bachelor’s degree magna cum laude and was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. He received his juris doctor degree from the Rutgers University School of Law in 1979. After law school, he clerked for Superior Court Judge J. Emmet Cassidy before entering private practice, specializing in civil defense litigation for corporate, insurance, and individual clients. In 1988, he established a successful defense firm, Peter F. Bariso, Jr., Esq. PC., concentrating in civil litigation and worker’s compensation, which merged in 1995 with what, is now the Chasan Lamparello Mallon & Cappuzzo firm. Upon his retirement, Judge Bariso will be returning to the Chasan firm. Board Chairman Anthony Vainieri, the Board of Commissioners in conjunction with Hudson County Executive Thomas A.

Judge denies HRH’s request for injunction in breach of contract case with CarePointHudson County Superior Court Assignment Judge Jeffrey Jablonski denied Hudson Regional Hospital’s request for an injunction yesterday in their breach of contract case with CarePoint Health. By John Heinis/Hudson County View The motion, part of a lawsuit HRH filed at the end of last month, sough to prevent CarePoint from selling, transferring, or alienating assets from Christ Hospital in Jersey City, Hoboken University Medical Center, and the Bayonne Medical Center. The lawsuit claims CarePoint breached their merger pact with HRH to form Hudson Healthy System, which was announced in January . Jablonski denied the motion, citing a lack of “clear and convincing evidence.” “Plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that they have a reasonable probability of success on the merits; plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the balancing of the equities and hardships counsels in favor of injunctive relief,” Jablonski wrote in denying the order to show cause. “Plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that they will suffer irreparable harm absent injunctive relief; and plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the public interest will not be harmed by the granting of injunctive relief.” Expectedly, CarePoint applauded the decision in a statement. “Yesterday’s ruling is a victory for community members in Hudson County who depend on CarePoint Health hospitals to receive the medical care they need. Continuing the lawsuit at this point would be a pointless exercise and doing so would prove that HRH is only interested in forcing CarePoint to expend precious resources that should instead be directed to caring for patients in need,” they wrote. “CarePoint Health’s top priority will always be providing compassionate, patient-centered care to the communities we serve in Hudson County, and we will continue working to build partnerships that support this mission now and well into the future.” HRH spokesman Ron Simoncini said they remain confident this litigation will benefit all Hudson County residents in the long run. “We are confident that we will emerge from this process with a strong health are solution that serves all of Hudson County. We are not going to comment on ongoing legal proceedings beyond our filings.” No concrete reason has been given why the partnership never came to fruition after five months or so, but CarePoint’s financial shortcomings have been well documented. The state appointed a financial monitor to their three hospitals around the time the Hudson Health System concept was announced, with CarePoint officials sending a letter to Gov. Phil Murphy in April seeking $129 million in American Rescue Plan funds, as HCV first reported .

Hudson County Superior Court Judge Sheila Venable, seen presiding over a hearing, has been appointed the assignment judge for Essex County Superior Court, the first Black to hold the position.

Hudson County Superior Court Judge Sheila Venable made history Wednesday when she was appointed the first Black judge to preside over the Essex County Superior Court system — the state’s largest vicinage. The long-time judge will succeed Judge Sallyanne Floria, who is retiring after 22 years on the bench and more than five years as assignment judge. Venable’s term is effective Feb. 1, 2021. “I would like to thank Chief Justice (Stuart) Rabner for his confidence in my ability to serve as the assignment judge in Essex County,” Venable said. “Judge Floria has set a strong example to follow. I am humbled and honored to have been chosen and I feel privileged to be a part of this independent judiciary.” Venable served as the presiding judge of the criminal division in the Hudson vicinage from 2008 to 2018 and currently serves as a drug court judge there. She was appointed to the bench on Jan. 20, 2005 by Gov. Richard J. Codey, serving first in the family division and then moving to the criminal division later that year. “Judge Venable’s distinguished career has been marked by excellence, strong leadership, and empathy – qualities that will serve the state’s largest vicinage and the public well. Essex County, and the Judiciary as a whole, are fortunate to have such a gifted jurist continue to maintain the highest standards Judge Floria exemplified,” Chief Justice Stuart Rabner said. In 2014 Superior Court Judge Lisa Thornton was the first Black woman in the state to become as assignment judge when she was appointed to the position in Monmouth County. Judge Lawrence Lawson was the first Black assignment judge in Monmouth and in the state. Prior to her judicial career, Venable served from 1986 to 1988 as designated counsel on behalf of the State Public Defender’s Office at the Department of Public Advocate. During the same period, Venable served as public defender for Jersey City. Judge Venable then served as assistant prosecutor in Jersey City and, in 1991, became Jersey City’s chief municipal prosecutor. She served as a municipal court judge in Jersey City from 1993 to 2005. Prior to her judicial career, Judge Venable earned her bachelor’s degree in political science, with an emphasis in public administration, at California State University Northridge. She later received her law degree at the University of Santa Clara. If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
