When the Law Meets the Macabre: A CLE Experience Like No Other.
Continuing Legal Education is mandatory, but it doesn’t have to be boring! A little levity can be a great thing for every attorney. New Jersey’s legal history is filled with more than just statutes and case law –it’s haunted by stories that are stranger than fiction. From infamous murders to political corruption, the Garden State has seen its share of chilling tales. This fall, attorneys are invited to explore the darker corners of New Jersey’s past in a Continuing Legal Education program that blends true crime, folklore, and legal analysis. It’s CLE with a twist – and just in time for Halloween.

Each story is paired with a substantive legal discussion, touching on topics from prosecutorial discretion to defamation law.
