If the Senate confirms Esther Suarez as a Superior Court Judge, the leading contender to replace her as Bergen County Counsel is her boss, Robert Laux, the County Administrator. Laux is a former Assistant County Counsel and was a lawyer at the law firm of Dennis Oury, a former Bergen Democratic powerbroker who pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges last year and testified against his former co-defendant, ex-Democratic County Chairman Joseph Ferriero.
