Walter F. Timpone is a former justice on the New Jersey Supreme Court, serving from 2016 to 2020. He was appointed by Governor Chris Christie in April 2016.[1] He was confirmed by the New Jersey State Senate on April 25, 2016, and sworn in on June 2.[2][3] His appointment ended wrangling between the governor and the state legislature over the seat, which had stood vacant since 2010.[4][5]

Timpone retired on August 31, 2020, 10 weeks before his mandatory retirement date of November 10, to allow his senate-confirmed replacement Fabiana Pierre-Louis to join the bench for the September court session.[6]

Education[edit]

Timpone received his bachelor's degree from St. Francis College in New York in 1972, his master's degree from New York University in 1974, and his J.D. from Seton Hall University School of Law in 1979.[7]

Career[edit]
