A year of advocacy, collaboration and leadership
The New Jersey State Bar Association, New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education and New Jersey State Bar Foundation all have a fundamental mission—to improve the legal profession and advance the rule of law.
Those goals are fostered in many ways: educating attorneys about the latest trends and issues in the profession; connecting attorneys; helping the public and educators understand their rights and the law; and advocating in the courts and with politicians in Trenton to make lasting change.
Here’s a look at all that was accomplished in 2022.
