Curt Meanor, a former United States District Court Judge, joined the Firm in 1986 and continued in active practice at Podvey Meanor for the remainder of his life. Judge Meanor graduated from Rutgers University School of Law as a Henry Rutgers Scholar. Curt served as a judge for almost 14 years in the Superior Court of New Jersey in both the Law and Appellate Divisions, and also sat on the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (by designation). He was an adjunct professor at Fordham Law School from 1964 to 1968 and served as Executive Secretary to the Honorable Robert B. Meyner, Governor of the State of New Jersey, from 1959 through 1960.

In addition to his judicial experience, Curt had substantial experience in all aspects of litigation. He was in private practice in Hudson County for 13 years before serving on the bench, and in his 22 years with Podvey Meanor, he was active in litigation and appellate practice. During that time, he also was frequently retained to serve as a mediator or an arbitrator because of his reputation for fairness and his ability to analyze complex issues.

During his time at the Firm, he was an invaluable resource to clients and colleagues, and his dedication to the practice of law and to client service is an example that his colleagues at Podvey Meanor strive daily to emulate.
