The New Jersey State Senate on Thursday confirmed the first black woman to be nominated as a judge in the Supreme Court. Fabiana Pierre-Louis is a 69-year-old lawyer and a former federal prosecutor. He was nominated by Democratic Governor Phil Murphy in June to replace Judge Walter Timpone. She was nominated to the court in 2016 by former Republican Governor Chris Christie and she will complete her mandatory retirement age of 70 later this year.

Senate President and Democrat Steve Sweeney said, “Pierre Louis is a successful New Jersey personality who will further diversify into the nation’s most diverse state’s top court.” He is Murphy’s first choice for the top court.

The daughter of Haiti immigrants, Pierre Louis is the first member of her family to study law. She became emotional while talking with Murphy about her family in her life at an event in Trenton in June.

He said, “Many years ago, my family came to America from Haiti, who had nothing more than clothes and hearts in the American dream. I think they have achieved more than their dreams because my life certainly does not represent the traditional career path of the person who will one day be nominated to the top court of New Jersey. “
