Counsel for Petitioner (Mr. Kimberly)

In this discussion, Mr. Zuckerman, counsel for New Jersey Transit, highlights the agency's creation and legal powers, arguing it qualifies as an arm of the State of New Jersey entitled to sovereign immunity. He contrasts this with Mr. Kimberly, representing the petitioner Cedric Galette, who posits that NJ Transit is a separate entity, lacking such immunity. They explore crucial legal precedents, the implications of corporate status, and the delicate balance between state control and corporate independence, leading to a compelling debate on liability and sovereignty.
