Martin A. Herman (born June 30, 1939) is an American Democratic Party politician who served in the New Jersey General Assembly, where he represented the 3rd Legislative District from 1974 to 1986, and was later appointed as a judge in New Jersey Superior Court in Gloucester County.
Born in Philadelphia on June 30, 1939, Herman graduated from the Temple University Beasley School of Law in 1963 after receiving an undergraduate degree at Temple in 1960. After entering private practice, he became the solicitor of Deptford Township, New Jersey in 1969, and served as the secretary to the Gloucester County Bar Association.
Herman had been a partner at the firm of Herman, Pearson & Crass in Woodbury for 18 years, and ended his legal practice in 1986 after being appointed as a judge.
A resident of West Deptford Township, Herman and his Democratic running mate H. Donald Stewart were elected to represent the 3rd Legislative District in the New Jersey General Assembly in 1973, the first election in which the 40-district legislature was established under the terms of the 1964 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Reynolds v. Sims, which required the populations of legislative districts to be as equal as possible. In the Assembly, Herman served two terms as an assistant majority leader, as chairman of both the Legislative Oversight Committee and the Judiciary, Law, Public Safety and Defense Committee, as vice chairman of the Joint Commission on Economy and Efficiency in Government, and headed the Judiciary Committee Task Force on Juvenile Justice.
