New Jersey's legal system was plagued with injustices from the time
the system was established through the mid-twentieth century. "In
Battleground New Jersey," historian and author of "Boardwalk
Empire," Nelson Johnson chronicles reforms to the system through
the dramatic stories of Arthur T. Vanderbilt--the first chief
justice of the state's modern-era Supreme Court--and Frank
Hague--legendary mayor of Jersey City. Two of the most powerful
politicians in twentieth-century America, Vanderbilt and Hague
clashed on matters of public policy and over the need to reform New
Jersey's antiquated and corrupt court system. Their battles made
headlines and eventually led to legal reform, transforming New
Jersey's court system into one of the most highly regarded in
America.
Vanderbilt's power came through mastering the law, serving as dean
of New York University Law School, preaching court reform as
president of the American Bar Association, and organizing suburban
voters before other politicians recognized their importance. Hague,
a remarkably successful sixth-grade dropout, amassed his power by
exploiting people's foibles, crushing his rivals, accumulating a
fortune through extortion, subverting the law, and taking care of
business in his own backyard. They were different ethnically,
culturally, and temperamentally, but they shared the goals of
power.
Relying upon previously unexamined personal files of Vanderbilt,
Johnson's engaging chronicle reveals the hatred the lawyer had for
the mayor and the lengths Vanderbilt went to in an effort to
destroy Hague. "Battleground New Jersey" illustrates the difficulty
in adapting government to a changing world, and the vital role of
independent courts in American society.
