Sohail Mohammed has become New Jersey's first Indian-American and second Muslim judge. Mohammed, 47, was sworn-in at the Passaic County Superior Court, where he will be serving as a judge. "I could barely believe that I was in the same place to take oath as a judge where I had come in the 1980s for taking my citizenship oath, once to perform jury duty and later to take oath as an attorney. It was so gratifying," he said.
