Retired Chief Justice Deborah Poritz Honored With Portrait

Retired Chief Justice Deborah T. Poritz stands next to her official portrait before a ceremony in the Supreme Court courtroom in the Richard J. Hughes Justice Complex in Trenton on March 26. Poritz, the sixth chief justice since the 1948 New Jersey constitution, served as chief justice from 1996 until 2006.

The portrait, which will hang in the Supreme Court conference room on the eighth floor of the justice complex, was painted by Daniel Adel, whose work has been exhibited in galleries in the United States and France. Click here to view a video of the ceremony.
