## Resource

Episode 75 Who’s in Charge? Navigating Uncertainty in New Jersey’s U.S. Attorney’s Office The prolonged legal fight over Alina Habba's status as New Jersey’s top federal prosecutor has thrown court proceedings throughout the Garden State into turmoil. Even with the recent Third Circuit Court of Appeals decision and Habba’s alleged resignation, the future remains uncertain, according to James Pearce, Senior Counsel at the Washington Litigation Group, who was involved in the litigation challenging Habba’s appointment. James joins host Matt Adams to delve into the thorny legal issues that began with Habba’s spring 2025 appointment and culminated in the ruling earlier this month by the Middle District of Pennsylvania that she was unlawfully serving in the role. James and Matt explain why her position was challenged, where the case stands now and what is currently happening to cases in the state’s federal court. Matt and James also explore the broader implications of this case for the Justice Department and how it’s impacting similar pending litigation in other jurisdictions.
