Which entities participate in the appointment of judges to the Tax Court?

In New Jersey, the appointment of judges to the Tax Court is a process that involves the Governor and the Senate. The Governor has the authority to nominate judges, and the Senate is responsible for confirming those nominations. This structure ensures that there is both executive and legislative involvement in the process, providing a system of checks and balances. The Governor's nominations reflect the executive branch's priorities and perspectives on the legal qualifications and attributes necessary for judges serving in the Tax Court, while the Senate's role in confirmation serves to ensure that the appointees are representative of the public's interest and adequately fulfill the necessary criteria for the judiciary.

The other options fail to capture the correct structure of the appointment process as outlined in New Jersey law. The Assembly does not play a role in the appointment of judges to the Tax Court, nor do the Tax Court and the Supreme Court have a direct role in appointing judges for each other.
