From Bergen County Assignment Judge, Hon. Bonnie J. Mizdol:
Hon. Joan Bedrin Murray: The Chief Justice has informed me that Hon. Joan Bedrin Murray will be returning to Tax Court at year’s end. Judge Murray has been a welcome addition to Bergen. She has juggled a tax and foreclosure calendar with aplomb. She will always be a part of the Bergen team; and will be sorely missed. As Judge Murray transitions back to the Tax Court, Hon. Charles Powers, Retired on Recall, shall return to assist the Chancery Division with foreclosure stays.
Hon. Robert L. Polifroni, P.J.Cv.: Despite my pleas to the contrary, Judge Polifroni has remained steadfast in his position and has tendered his retirement papers. He will be leaving the vicinage as of February 1, 2021. He has brought to the Bergen bench expertise in all aspects of civil litigation and has been an invaluable resource to me as Assignment Judge. Please join me in wishing him continued good health, a vibrant retirement and in celebrating his contributions to the Bergen bench for the last fourteen (14) years.
