Provides for 5 year terms for Justices of the Supreme Court and for tenure elections for a Justice to receive tenure upon reappointment.

ACR 51 proposes a constitutional amendment changing New Jersey Supreme Court justices' term structure. It would shorten initial terms to 5 years (from 7 years) and require justices reappointed by the governor to win voter approval in a "tenure election" to gain permanent tenure. If rejected by voters, a justice could still be reappointed for another 5-year term but would not receive tenure. This directly affects current and future Supreme Court justices, maintaining the 70-year retirement age but adding a direct voter check on tenure. The change would apply to justices whose initial terms expire after the amendment's effective date.
