Don't miss this opportunity to catch up on the New Jersey's New Anti-SLAPP Law seminar you missed!
On September 7th, 2023, Governor Murphy signed “The Uniform Public Expression Protection Act,” which provides an expedited process for dismissal of “Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation” (“SLAPP”) suits. Powerful entities and individuals often use lawsuits and litigation threats to punish and silence those who might speak unfavorably about them. The bipartisan legislation will enable defendants to seek the expedited dismissal of such lawsuits which have historically been used against journalists, academics, advocates, and whistleblowers – among others – and potentially collect legal fees. The new law took effect in early October of 2023.
In this replay, Senator Joseph A. Lagana, one of the sponsors of the bill, along with Bruce S. Rosen, a partner at Pashman Stein Walder Hayden PC with more than 35 years of experience in high profile First Amendment litigation and a longtime proponent of the new law, and Lincoln Bandlow, a California media/entertainment law practitioner attorney with 30 years experience litigating SLAPP suits, will present a seminar on everything you need to know about the new law.
Topics include:
- How the new law against Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP) works
- What out-of-state court rulings are New Jersey Courts likely to use to initially interpret the new law
- How New Jersey’s existing defamation law fits into the analysis
