Judge Annette Scoca - Professional Background & Legal Expertise

Biography

The Hon. Annette Scoca is a judge for the Essex County Superior Court (Vicinage 5) in New Jersey. She was appointed to the bench by former Governor Chris Christie on June 30, 2016.

Over the course of her judicial career, Scoca has held assignments in the Civil Division (2016 to 2019, 2021 to present) and the Family Division (2019 to 2021).

Scoca earned a bachelor’s degree from Rutgers University in 1983. She then completed a J.D. at Seton Hall Law School in 1986.

After graduating from law school, Scoca began her legal career as a law clerk for the Hon. Carol A. Ferentz of the Essex County Superior Court. She then joined the City of Newark, where she worked as an assistant corporation counsel before becoming an assistant public defender with the Essex County Public Defender’s Office. She served in that capacity until 1990, at which time she entered into private practice as a sole practitioner.

A lifelong resident of Essex County, Scoca was raised in the Silver Lake Section of Belleville. Her father was a welder, and her mother worked various factory jobs. As a teenager, Scoca worked for the Essex County Department of Parks and Recreation.

She is registered as a Republican.
