Senators
from the same political party meet in this room around
the conference table to hold party caucuses: meetings
to discuss their legislative agenda and party policies.
The room originally housed the New Jersey Supreme Court
until the judicial branch of government moved to the
adjacent Annex building in 1931. Five judges once sat
before a high bench in a curved apse (far end) and heard
arguments. They deliberated in chambers once located
through the two arched doors, left and right. A stained
glass skylight still includes symbols of the rule of
law.
