ATLANTIC CITY — John E. Keefe Jr., a Monmouth County lawyer,

“I am proud to work on behalf of the membership to continue to serve,
protect, foster and promote the personal and professional interests of the
association’s members,” said Keefe. “The state bar is not only relevant
but taking a lead role on judicial independence, professional liability reform and
many key areas of legislation.”

consumer fraud national class action. He is a frequent speaker and moderator of
educational seminars for the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education.
His involvement in the organized bar has been extensive and
includes serving as a trustee of the state bar, and as the vice chair of the
Long-Term Planning Committee. He is also a member of the association’s Amicus, Finance and Operations, and Meeting
Arrangements and Program committees, and the Certified Attorneys Section, as
well as being a former chair of its Civil Trial Bar Section. Keefe also serves
on the board of the New Jersey State Bar Foundation.
AV-rated by Martindale-Hubbell, Keefe earned his B.A. degree
in English literature from Gettysburg College in 1987 and his law degree at
Seton Hall University School of Law in 1990. He is admitted to the bar of the state
of New Jersey, U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey and the U.S. District
