One of Christie’s most controversial school policies was the state’s control over school districts. These school districts contained relatively high numbers of underachieving students, people of color, people who were poor, and members of the Democratic Party. In Newark, Christie hired Chris Cerf to replace Cami Anderson to be the state-appointed authority over the school district. Under Christie, Cerf overruled the locally elected school board in Newark, with recent research concluding that the reforms pressed by Christie, Anderson, and Cerf did not improve outcomes in Newark.
By tradition since the 1947 state constitution, the seven-member New Jersey Supreme Court maintains a political balance and is composed of four members of either the Democratic Party or Republican Party and three of the other. Christie broke with the tradition in May 2010 when he chose not to renominate Justice John E. Wallace Jr. While on the campaign trail, Christie had said the court "inappropriately encroached on both the executive and legislative function, and that if elected governor, [he] would take steps . . . to bring back an appropriate constitutional balance to the court." Over the course of his tenure, Christie had been in a major conflict with the New Jersey Legislature over the court's partisan balance. The stand-off between the governor and the New Jersey Senate resulted in longstanding vacancies, with temporarily assigned appellate judges filling in.
After graduating in 1984 from the University of Delaware, he earned a J.D. at Seton Hall University School of Law. A Republican, Christie was elected county freeholder (legislator) for Morris County, New Jersey, serving from 1995 to 1998.
