Newly-minted Brick Municipal Court Judge Joseph Grisanti is \u201cabove reproach,\u201d Mayor John Ducey said Tuesday night, minutes before the judge was approved unanimously by the township council.<\/p>\n

A former Democratic mayor of Jackson, Grisanti is now a Brick resident who will bring what officials described as an impressive record of legal ethics to the municipal court bench.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did interviews and we found ourselves an excellent candidate,\u201d said Ducey.<\/p>\n

Municipal court judges in Brick are appointed for three year terms. They are considered employees of the township and are paid a salary of $140,000 per year that is set by ordinance, said Business Administrator Joanne Bergin. Grisanti will replace current Judge Robert M. Lepore, whose term expires Aug. 21.<\/p>\n

In addition to his private work and duties as a municipal prosecutor in numerous Ocean County municipalities, Grisanti, Ducey said, is a member of state Attorney Ethics Committee, which reviews attorney ethics questions. \u00a0(He will give up his prosecutorial posts once he becomes judge.)<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a member of that ethics bar, you obviously have to have a clean record of ethics and have a clean record to be nominated and appointed,\u201d said Ducey.<\/p>\n

Grisanti is also a former FBI agent and served in the United States Navy.<\/p>\n
