Julie McKeon, assistant chief of probation in Warren County, yesterday helped deliver food donated by employees of the Somerset/Hunterdon/Warren Vicinage. The food drive, organized by the vicinage’s Office of the Ombudsman, EEO, and the Probation Division, raised enough items to fill six collection boxes, which were created by students from the Hunterdon County Jobs Readiness Program. The donations were split between the Somerset and Hunterdon County food banks and Warren County Norwescap Food Bank.

As a part of the recruiting efforts for New Jersey Courts, Judiciary staff members visited Widener School of Law, Temple University’s Beasley School of Law, and Benjamin Cardozo School of Law this month and last month. The students received information about judicial clerkships and internships.
