Statement of Diversity and Inclusion
The New Jersey State Bar Association is committed to promoting and fostering a
diverse and inclusive bar association.
The association recognizes that the broad concept of diversity includes race, ethnicity,
gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age and disability.
The NJSBA fosters and promotes an inclusive environment that gives value to the
unique contributions of diverse individuals and organizations in all aspects of the
Association.
The NJSBA further recognizes that:
• Increased diversity and inclusion efforts benefit not only the NJSBA, but also the
entire legal profession and the greater community that we are all a part of.
• Bringing diverse individuals and viewpoints together creates opportunities for all.
• In order for the NJSBA to become truly diverse, such inclusive efforts, must be
supported by all Sections/Divisions/Committees of the NJSBA through continuous
and heartfelt actions.
• Diversity and inclusion requires ongoing training and education of the entire
profession, in order to enable its members to break down barriers that have
previously prevented progress.
• Creating a diverse and inclusive environment requires a commitment and consistent
momentum towards the future of the profession, and achieving diversity and
inclusion requires unwavering commitment by the NJSBA and the entire profession.
For these aforementioned reasons, the New Jersey State Bar Association reaffirms its
commitment to diversity and inclusion and agrees to:
• Support the diversity and inclusion goals adopted by the American Bar Association
and other bar associations throughout the nation as follows: Goal III, “Eliminate Bias
and Enhance Diversity. Objectives: 1.Promote full and equal participation in the
association, our profession, and the justice system by all persons. 2. Eliminate bias in
the legal profession and the justice system.”; and
• Support and maintain a Leadership Academy for all individuals, particularly
attorneys newer to the profession, attorneys of color and other diverse attorneys
that would benefit from intense yearlong training by legal scholars to help these
individuals prepare for growth and leadership roles;
• Increase access and representation of all minorities and diverse individuals in law
firms, legal departments, bar associations, law schools and other organizations;
• Measure and encourage hiring, recruitment and retention of diverse attorneys in the
legal profession.

A Message from
the President
We have an ambitious and exciting year ahead at the New Jersey State Bar
Association (NJSBA).
Leadership Academy
We have started our Leadership Academy.
This effort will shape new leaders for the NJSBA and for all the
communities and constituencies of New Jersey and beyond. Our inaugural
class of fellows from across the legal spectrum have begun studying the
issues facing the legal profession today, and we look forward to recognizing
their hard work when they graduate in the spring.
Blue Ribbon Commission on Unmet Legal Needs
The NJSBA’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Unmet Legal Needs is making
progress in studying ways to connect underemployed and unemployed
lawyers with the growing number of residents who need legal
representation but cannot afford traditional fees. It is interesting to note
that a Google search of “unmet legal needs” yields a result that puts our
commission at the top of the list, proving we are at the forefront of this
critical issue. We look forward to examining and implementing the
commission’s recommendations.
Political Action Committee
We continue to examine the feasibility of creating a political action
committee to provide a greater voice in the Legislature for New Jersey
lawyers. The Board of Trustees expects to consider the pros and cons of this
endeavor and issue a report this fall.
Fairness for All Professions Legislation
As the voice of the profession, the NJSBA is committed to pursuing
legislative initiatives that provide fairness, equity and equality to all
professionals in New Jersey by enactment of a single statute of limitations
for all professionals. The time has come when fairness demands that the
Legislature act favorably on this legislation and that the voice of all
professionals be heard in place of those special interests wishing to
maintain the status quo.

Lawyers Feeding New Jersey
This winter, the NJSBA will reprise the inspirational Lawyers Feeding New
Jersey project to raise funds to provide meals to the 1.2 million people in
our great state who do not have enough to eat. We hope that through the
generosity of the profession that we can provide more than the 300,000
meals we funded last year.
Future of Legal Services
We will review the initiatives the American Bar Association proposes with
regard to the future of legal services in this country. As it has been in the
past, the NJSBA will be a vocal advocate for changes that make sense and
oppose those that make no sense for lawyers in New Jersey.
Diversity and Inclusion
We will continue to support the diversity initiatives that make the NJSBA
more inclusive and diverse. The Board of Trustees approved and published
an updated Statement on Diversity and Inclusion last spring. The board has
under its consideration an action plan and individual checklist. We will
continue to make the NJSBA accessible to all.
Connection to Our Members
Our goal is to make real connections with our membership. To do that, the
officers of the association are making an effort to attend every state bar
night held in conjunction with the county bar associations. I intend to
attend meetings of all the sections and committees of the NJSBA. It has
been an education and a pleasure to get to know the members of the groups
with whom I have already had the benefit of meeting. To ensure you are
making the most of your membership, I urge you to take advantage of our
social media channels and look for video messages about what’s happening.
Mid-Year Meeting in New Orleans
Our Mid-Year Meeting is scheduled from Nov. 4-8 in New Orleans. We will
be staying in the heart of the city and will offer unique educational and
networking opportunities.
Open Invitation
I invite you to contact me and let me know what you are doing and what the
NJSBA can do for you. Reach out to me anywhere—in the hallways of a
courthouse, at the New Jersey Law Center, on the street, or write to me at
[email protected].
You can be proud of the NJSBA. We are “Your voice, your vision—
the State Bar.”

A Message from
the Executive Director
The New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) is the professional home
of nearly 18,000 members of the state’s legal community. We are also the
guardians of the justice system for all of the state’s judges, lawyers and
others in the legal field.
The association has much to be proud of this year.
Our success in advocacy with the courts and Legislature, our ability to
provide world-class continuing legal education seminars and meaningful
benefits is testimony to the thousands of volunteers who make this
association great.
They take time away from their practices to organize and speak at
seminars, to plan conferences, to think of new ways to help colleagues, to
examine the issues, trends and developments in the law that matter most to
their practice.
And for that, the association extends its gratitude.
We take seriously our goals of providing members opportunities to improve
their practice and being vigilant in routinely examining the NJSBA’s
finances to ensure the association is able to serve that purpose.
To welcome our newest colleagues into the profession, we are extending
free membership for the first year to all attorneys newly admitted to
practice. We have also cut in half the cost of membership for those
attorneys in their second year of practice. We hope the opportunities to
learn, connect and grow will convince them that membership is a key to
success in their careers.
We hope you agree the association plays an important role in the legal
community, and we look forward to working on your behalf.

2014–2015
The Year in Review
should be permitted to own law firms, and that the public and the
legal profession will be harmed by allowing unlicensed individuals,
in particular those without a law degree, to practice law. The issue is
expected to stay in the forefront during the 2015–2016 term.
Lawyers in Transition
The association reached out to lawyers in transition throughout the
year and held a daylong conference in February meant to help all
attorneys navigate the twists and turns lawyers may confront during
their careers, whether its getting out of law school, looking to return
to practice, changing a practice’s focus, or preparing to retire. Task Force on Judicial Independence
In addition to the conference, the association created a committee
to focus on the issues facing lawyers; developed an e-publication
meant to help them build and maintain successful practices; and
dedicated an edition of New Jersey Lawyer, which contained 17
scholarly and personal articles, to the topic. The New Jersey State Bar Association’s Task Force on Judicial
Independence released a report outlining steps to be taken to
ensure a fair and impartial court system. The 50-page report was
the result of a year-and-a-half of study, and its authors hope it will
foster continued discussion on the critical issues facing the legal
community and society.
The task force was formed in 2013 under the leadership of thenpresident Ralph J. Lamparello, and was comprised of retired judges,
scholars, attorneys and members of the public. Retired Appellate
Division Judge Dorothea O’C. Wefing, who was temporarily
assigned to the Supreme Court, and retired Assignment Judge
Maurice J. Gallipoli, who sat in Hudson County, served as its cochairs. The task force was an independent entity.
The report, released in April, included 11 recommendations for the
association’s governing body to consider. A panel discussion,
featuring legislators and The Star-Ledger’s editorial page editor,
were featured as part of the 2015 NJSBA Annual Meeting and
Convention, and the Board of Trustees adopted many of the
recommendations.
Future of the Legal Profession
Then-President Paris P. Eliades testified before the American Bar
Association’s Commission on the Future of Legal Services in
February on issues that could have a dramatic impact on the future
of the legal profession.
His testimony focused on the NJSBA’s position that only lawyers
Training for Lawyers to
Help Prisoners Reentering Society
Nearly 200 people took part in the seminar to train lawyers to help
prisoners who have served their time and are ready to reenter
society. It brought together legal luminaries including U.S. Attorney
Paul J. Fishman, Acting Attorney General John Jay Hoffman,
former Governor and Jersey City Employment and Training
Program Executive Director James E. McGreevey, and other
corrections officials and attorneys practicing in related fields.

outlining the organizations goals related to diversity and inclusion.
The New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education
(NJICLE), in partnership with several specialty bar associations
and NJSBA-related groups, launched a signature speakers series
highlighting the people and issues who are leading diversity and
inclusion efforts in the law.
Scheck Named One of State’s Top Women in Business
NJSBA Executive Director Angela C. Scheck was named one of this
year’s Best 50 Women in Business by the publication NJBIZ. She
has worked for the association for 27 years and also serves as
executive director of the New Jersey State Bar Foundation, the
educational and philanthropic arm of the association.
Leadership Transitions
Blue Ribbon Commission on Unmet Legal Needs
With nearly four in 10 middle-income Americans facing a legal
problem yet unable to hire an attorney, and abysmal employment
rates for law school graduates, the NJSBA launched an effort to help
both groups.
Seeking to be a proactive voice in a national effort, the association’s
recently appointed Blue Ribbon Commission on Unmet Legal
Needs is charged with seeking innovative ways to responsibly
match those who need affordable legal help with lawyers who need
clients and to provide the lawyers with the support and guidance to
ensure any effort undertaken is properly administered. Former New
Jersey Supreme Court Justice Helen E. Hoens and retired New
Jersey Supreme Court Justice Virginia A. Long co-chair the
commission.
Lawyers Feeding New Jersey Campaign
The Lawyers Feeding New Jersey campaign raised enough money
to provide enough food for over 300,000 meals for New Jersey
residents without enough to eat. Lawyers Feeding New Jersey was a
60-day virtual effort to fight hunger.
Nearly 400 lawyers and other individuals, and almost 50 law firms,
donated to the effort. All donations benefited Community
FoodBank of New Jersey, which works with food banks and
affiliates across New Jersey.
Diversity and Inclusion
For the first time in its history, the association hired a dedicated
staff member devoted to advancing its commitment to diversity.
In addition to hiring a Director of Diversity Initiatives, the
association reaffirmed its commitment to diversity and inclusion
when the Board of Trustees adopted an updated statement
8
May marked the end of Paris P. Eliades’s term as president and
included the installation of Miles S. Winder III as the 117th
president of the association. Kimberly A. Yonta was selected to
serve as secretary, following an election and runoff.
Annual Meeting and Convention
The largest annual gathering of the legal community once again
broke records, with over 2,700 judges, lawyers and other legal
professionals in attendance for over 90 educational seminars,
networking and other social events. The three-day convention was
held at Borgata Casino, Hotel & Spa in Atlantic City. The gathering
featured nearly every member of the Supreme Court, dozens of state
and federal judges, legislators and some of the state’s leading legal
experts. A new app for the event received over 140,000 views.
Mid-Year Meeting
The NJSBA’s 2014 Mid-Year Meeting in Paris attracted
over 400 judges and lawyers. The event offered networking
opportunities, a gala dinner, and educational seminars on topics
including preserving fair and impartial courts, matrimonial issues
and more. Attendees also took part in tours and other activities in
the city, including a marathon. Planning is underway for the 2015
Mid-Year Meeting, which will be in New Orleans.
Solo and Small-Firm Conference
In March, the association once again held the Solo and Small-Firm
Conference in two locations. The conference is part of the bar
association’s larger efforts to help solo and small-firm attorneys. In
the conference’s first year, about 100 lawyers took part in the event.
This year, over 400 people attended.
General Council
The NJSBA’s General Council gathered for its annual meeting in the
fall. The council includes leaders of the association, New Jersey
State Bar Foundation, and county and specialty bar associations, as
governed by the association’s bylaws. The group makes
recommendations to the association’s Board of Trustees on matters
affecting the membership and the legal community at large. The
gathering also featured an educational seminar titled “Age and Its
Impact on the Law.”
Military Legal Assistance Program
The program provides pro bono legal assistance to New Jersey
residents who served in the armed services following the Sept. 11
terrorist attacks. Since its inception, 180 volunteer attorneys have
handled 350 cases, including three dozen last year.

Advocacy
The New Jersey State Bar Association has a robust advocacy
program. The association passionately and effectively serves as the
voice of the profession in the halls of the statehouse, in amicus
matters pending before the state’s appellate courts, and with the
Supreme Court and Administrative Office of the Courts on issues
related to the practice of law.
Amicus
With the assistance of volunteer attorneys, the NJSBA filed nine
friend-of-the-court briefs, argued in four, and saw decisions in
several other cases in the past year. The association has become
one of the most active amicus parties to appear before the New
Jersey Supreme Court, and in some cases the Court has even
sought out briefs from the NJSBA to provide guidance and insight.
The association has tackled cases that cover every aspect of the
practice of law ranging from alimony and palimony issues to
environmental spills to driving while intoxicated and other
municipal court matters.
Representative cases during the past year, include:
• Saying the case presented issues of constitutional concern, the
association filed briefs in State v. Buckner, related to the use of
judges over the mandatory retirement age of 70 who continued
to hear matters to help alleviate shortages faced in many county
courthouses. The New Jersey State Bar Association focused its
efforts on looking for a prospective solution that preserves an
efficient judicial branch.
• Calling the state’s rule on the delivery of real estate contract
cancellation notices outdated, the NJBSA argued notification by
email and fax should be deemed acceptable. In a world
dominated by electronic communications, the state still requires
cancellation notices to be sent by certified mail, personal
delivery or telegraph. The association urged an appellate panel
to uphold a trial court finding in Conley v. Guerrero, that fax and
email notice transmissions are acceptable.
• The state Supreme Court delivered a unanimous victory in a
case addressing the enforceability of oral palimony agreements.
The Court, in Maeker v. Ross, agreed with the amicus position
put forth by the NJSBA that a 2010 change to the frauds statutes
saying palimony agreements must be made in writing was not
intended to apply retroactively. The decision is expected to have
implications far beyond the facts of the case.
10
Legislation
In an effort to continue to foster the success of the New Jersey State
Bar Association’s legislative advocacy, the association’s governing
body this year approved an updated and refined set of criteria to use
when reviewing pending legislation. This criteria allows the
association to act on matters that will have a significant impact on
the most pressing issues, while not expending resources on those
that are not germane to its mission or the practice of law. The
criteria ensure the association advocates on measures that directly
affect the profession; affect public access to the judicial system and
the fair administration of the judicial branch; affect a constitutional
right; were written by an association group; and have the potential
to make substantial changes to a particular practice area. To further
those goals, the association brought on a new Director of
Government Affairs. In addition to tackling systemic
improvements, the association held a successful Advocacy Town
Hall Day educational seminar and statehouse awards ceremony.
During the legislative session, the association saw several measures
it supported signed into law. They included:
• ACS for A-845, 971, 1649/SCS for S-488, 1808: Establishing
durational limits and enumerates certain factors concerning
modification and termination of alimony; establishes “open
durational” alimony.
• A-1423/S-2043: Prohibiting notaries public from falsely
representing themselves as attorneys in advertisements.
• A-1477/S-1224: Establishing the New Jersey Family
Collaborative Law Act.
• A-2280/S-1305: Requiring certain police vehicles to be
equipped with cameras.
Court Rules
The NJSBA successfully advocated for several of the changes
included in the New Jersey Judiciary’s 2014 Omnibus Rule
Amendment Order, including those involving amicus matters,
pro bono representation, contingent fees and permission for
attorneys to contact prospective clients through electronic
communications.
The association has also contributed comments to the U.S. Third
Circuit Court of Appeals with regard to changes it proposed for
attorney discipline.

New Jersey Institute for
Continuing Legal Education
The NJSBA’s educational arm continues to prove why it is the
leading provider of continuing legal education (CLE) for the legal
profession. In the past year, over 36,000 people took part in over 660
conferences and seminars.
The speakers at those events included a line-up of hundreds of
esteemed judges, attorneys and other legal practitioners who all
volunteered their time for the betterment of the industry. The
institute also welcomed national dignitaries, such as Harvard
University constitutional scholar Laurence H. Tribe and Carlotta
Walls LaNier, a member of the Little Rock Nine who integrated
Little Rock High School in 1957.
To further its mission of serving the entire legal profession the
institute developed a series of programs that helped 440 newly
admitted attorneys meet their CLE obligations with affordable and
practical trainings. It also offered association members several
opportunities to earn up to 16 free CLE credits, and published seven
books, including “Litigation Technology for the Modern
Practitioner” and “2015 Profitable Law Firm Management.”
Affiliated Organizations
New Jersey State Bar Foundation
The foundation is the educational and philanthropic arm of the
association. It serves to help people better understand the law. Each
year more than 15,000 people take part in free seminars the
foundation organizes on topics such as elder law and legal issues
facing those with disabilities. It also provides educational programs
for schools, including critical training to prevent teasing and
bullying, mock trial programs for elementary through high school
students, and multiple publications for students and teachers. The
foundation also provides annual grants to law-related programs
around the state.
New Jersey Commission on
Professionalism in the Law
The state’s three law schools, the NJSBA and Judiciary created the
Commission on Professionalism in the Law nearly 20 years ago.
The commission organizes educational programming throughout
12
the year to advance ethics and professionalism. It is instrumental in
Professionalism Day, which the state and federal courts hold each
fall, and holds an annual luncheon where the Daniel J. O’Hern
Professionalism Award is presented and attorneys throughout the
state are recognized as professional lawyers of the year. In the
spring, Charles Hollenbeck retired from the commission, after

New Jersey Lawyers Assistance Program
The Lawyers Assistance Program, which is free and confidential to
all attorneys in the state, is administered by the NJSBA. The
program is funded by all members of the bar. It helps lawyers, law
students, law school graduates and judges struggling with
depression and any problem affecting attorneys’ professional or
personal well-being. It offers confidential counseling, referral
services, and hosts regular support groups. In over 20 years of
service, it has provided assistance to thousands of members of the
legal community.
NEW JERSEY COMMISSION ON PROFESSIONALISM IN THE LAW
Principles of Professionalism
for Lawyers and Judges
PREAMBLE
Adherence to standards of professional responsibility, along
with a broad respect for the law, is a hallmark of an enlightened
and effective system of justice. the conduct of lawyers and
judges should be characterized at all times by professional
integrity and personal courtesy in the fullest sense of those
terms. both are indispensable ingredients in the practice of law,
and in the orderly administration of justice by our courts.
the following principles, which focus on the goals of professionalism and civility, are designed to assist and encourage judges
and lawyers to meet their professional obligations. We encourage
all judges and lawyers to make a commitment to these principles,
and to conduct themselves in a manner that preserves the dignity
and honor of the judiciary and the legal profession.
PRINCIPLES
Lawyers’ Relations With Clients
1. to a client, a lawyer owes diligence, competence, faithfulness
and good judgment, in the pursuit of client objectives.
2. clients must be treated with respect. A lawyer should provide
objective advice and strive to represent the client’s interests
as expeditiously and efficiently as possible. lines of communication must be kept open and explanations provided for
actions taken in the course of representation. billing practices
should be fully explained to a client at the time representation
is undertaken.
3. clients should be advised against pursuing a course of action
that is without merit, and should avoid tactics that are intended to harass, or drain the financial resources of the opposing
party.
4. clients should be advised that professional courtesy, fair tactics, civility, and adherence to the rules and law are compatible with vigorous advocacy and zealous representation.
Lawyers’ Relations With Other Counsel
1. to opposing counsel, a lawyer owes a duty of respect, courtesy and fair dealing, candor in the pursuit of the truth, cooperation in all respects not inconsistent with the client’s interests, and scrupulous observance of all agreements and mutual
understandings.
2. A lawyer should respect a colleague’s schedule. Agreement
should be sought on dates for meetings, conferences, depositions, hearings, trials and other events. A reasonable request
for a scheduling accommodation, extension of time, or waiver
of procedural formalities should not be refused if the interests
of a client will not be adversely affected.
3. forms of pleading, discovery, motions, or other papers,
should not be used as a means of harassment, or for gaining
an unfair advantage. the filing or service of motions, pleadings or other papers should not be timed so as to unfairly limit
another party’s opportunity to respond, or harass counsel.
4. in the conduct of negotiations, or litigation, a lawyer should
conduct himself or herself with dignity and fairness and
refrain from conduct meant to harass the opposing party. A
lawyer should not advance groundless claims, defenses and
objections.
Lawyers’ Relations With the Court
1. to the court, a lawyer owes honesty, respect, diligence, candor and punctuality. A lawyer has a duty to act in a manner
consistent with the proper functioning of a fair, efficient and
humane system of justice.
2. A lawyer must avoid frivolous litigation and nonessential
pleading in litigation. settlement possibilities should be
explored at the earliest reasonable date, and agreement
should be sought on procedural and discovery matters.
delays not dictated by a competent and justified presentation
of a client’s claims or defenses should be avoided.
3. As an officer of the court, a lawyer should act with complete
honesty; show respect for the court by proper demeanor; and
act and speak civilly to the judge, court staff and adversaries,
with an awareness that all involved are integral parts of the
justice system.
4. A lawyer should strive to protect the dignity and independence of
the judiciary, particularly from unjust criticism and attack.
Judges’ Relations With Lawyers and Others
1. to lawyers, parties and all participants in the legal process, a
judge owes courtesy, patience, respect, diligence, punctuality
and fairness.
2. A judge must maintain control of proceedings and has an
obligation to ensure that proceedings are conducted in a civil
manner. judges should establish a climate of professionalism
that upholds the dignity of the bench and bar. A judge should
show respect for the bar by treating lawyers with civility and
personal courtesy.
3. A judge should ensure that disputes are resolved in a prompt
and efficient manner. However, hearings, meetings, conferences
and trials should be scheduled with appropriate consideration
to the schedules of lawyers, parties and witnesses.
4. A judge should remain knowledgeable of the law, rules and
procedure, and apply them in a fair and consistent manner
that enables all parties an adequate opportunity to present
their cases.

Board of Trustees:
(a) The Board of Trustees of the Association shall consist of the
Officers; the Immediate Past President; two Trustees from the
Young Lawyers Division (“Division Trustees”); nine Trustees
from the Sections and Committees (“Section/Committee
Trustees”); eight At-Large Trustees; a designee of the New
Jersey State Bar Foundation whose term shall run concurrently with that of the Foundation’s President; and one
Trustee from each county except Essex County which shall
have two Trustees. To be eligible to serve as a Trustee, a
member’s practice of law shall be primarily in the State of
New Jersey.
(b) Except for the Officers, the Immediate Past President of the
Association, and the designee of the New Jersey State Bar
Foundation, who shall each serve during their respective
terms of office, every Trustee shall be elected from among
the general members of the Association as hereinafter provided for a term of two years and shall not serve for more
than three successive terms, although individuals may be reelected or appointed as a Trustee after an interval of at least
one year. A Trustee appointed to serve an unexpired term
shall be considered to have served one term if the time
remaining in such term at time of appointment shall exceed
one year, regardless of whether the unexpired term precedes
or follows an elected term.
(c) Every Division Trustee shall be elected from, among and by
the membership of the Division.
(d) Every County Trustee shall be elected from, among and by
the members of the Association from that county. For purposes of being eligible to be a county trustee, “from that

Board of Trustees. The designation of these underrepresented segments of the membership to be considered when
nominating candidates for the At-Large Trustee seats shall be
made by the Board of Trustees at the first Board of Trustees
meeting following the Annual Meeting each year. Nothing in
this section shall be construed to mean that a member from
any underrepresented segment can be prohibited from serving on the Board of Trustees because another member from
that same underrepresented group is already serving as a
Trustee. The purpose of the At-Large Trustee positions is to
promote inclusion of as many underrepresented segments of
the membership on the Board of Trustees as possible. Any
interpretation of this section of the Bylaws shall be consistent
with that purpose.
(g) One-half of the Division, County and At-Large Trustees shall
be elected in each odd-numbered year and the remaining
one-half shall be elected in each even-numbered year. Five of
the Section/Committee Trustees shall be elected in each oddnumbered year and four shall be elected in each even-numbered year. The first term of any new Trustee seats created by
these amendments shall begin at the time of the next Annual
Meeting. The Nominating Committee shall determine which
candidates for the new seats shall serve only partial terms in
the first year to preserve the future staggering of elections
required by these Bylaws.
(h) In the event that any Trustee fails to maintain eligibility for
the category to which the Trustee is elected, then said Trustee
shall not be eligible to be re-elected to a successive term.
(i) All Officers and Trustees must (a) have and maintain the
capability of receiving and sending communications by email and (b) provide their e-mail address, which shall be keep
current at all times, to the NJSBA Executive Director and such

9. The terms of Officers and Trustees shall commence as of the
adjournment of the final business session of the Annual Meeting
and shall continue until a successor shall have been elected and
qualified. No member may serve in more than one Officer or
Trustee position at any one time, except as permitted by Article V.
A Trustee, whose nomination to be an Officer pursuant to Article IV
is unopposed and whose term as a Trustee will not end at the next
Annual Meeting, shall be deemed to have resigned as a Trustee
after the expiration of the period for filing nomination petitions
pursuant to Article IV, paragraph 7, hereof. Such Trustee’s resignation shall be effective upon being sworn into the Officer position. A
Trustee elected to fill an Officer position after a challenged election
pursuant to Article IV or elected to fill a vacant Officer position pursuant to Article V shall be deemed to have resigned as a Trustee
upon being sworn in to the Officer position.
10. The Board of Trustees may appoint one or more Assistant
Secretaries, an Assistant Treasurer, an Executive Director and such
administrative staff as it may deem advisable.
11. The Board of Trustees shall manage the affairs and property of the
Association. It shall perform all other duties required by these
Bylaws.
12. (a) The Board of Trustees shall have full power and authority in
the interval between meetings of the Association to do all

amend the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws nor to
take any actions inconsistent with resolutions of the
Association.
(b) A majority of the whole Board of Trustees shall constitute a
quorum at any regular or special meeting of the Board of
Trustees.
(c) At the discretion of the President, individual members of the
Board of Trustees may participate and vote in any regular or
special meeting of the Board of Trustees without physically
attending in person, by means of a telephone conference call
or any other means of communication by which all trustees
participating are able to hear and otherwise communicate
effectively with each other. Votes may occur either at physical
meetings, via conference call or through electronic vote or
such other state of the art means as consistent with this
bylaw. All voting shall be initiated by a motion proposed by
one member of the Board of Trustees and seconded by
another.
d. The Board of Trustees may take action on certain proposals
by e-mail or other generally accepted electronic means of
communication. Such proposals are limited to action which,
in the discretion of the President, cannot be delayed until the
next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and for which
it is not deemed necessary or economical to call a special
meeting of the Board or a conference telephone call pursuant
to subparagraph (c) above. The President, or the Executive
Director, on behalf of the President, may submit the proposal
to all officers and trustees by e-mail. Officers and trustees
who respond must “reply to all” and action may be taken on
the proposal after both (i) approved by e-mail responses
from a majority of the entire Board and (ii) the expiration of
twenty-four hours from the time the e-mail was sent to the
Board. If, however, within that twenty-four hour period, five
or more officers or trustees object to the action being taken
without a regular or special meeting either in-person or by
conference telephone call, then action on the proposal may
not be taken unless and until adopted at a subsequent in-person or conference telephone meeting.
The Officers and the Immediate Past President shall constitute the
Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees. The Executive
Committee shall perform such functions as shall be delegated to it
by the Board of Trustees.
No debts shall be incurred, no contract made and no funds appropriated or disbursed without the approval of the Board of Trustees.
(a) Any Officer or other Trustee who fails to attend three consecutive Board meetings or four Board meetings in any twelvemonth period in the State of New Jersey, shall be deemed to
have resigned as an Officer or Trustee of the Association
unless, at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting immediately following the last such absence, this provision is
waived by a majority vote of the members present.
(b) The Secretary of the Association shall give written notice of
these Bylaw provisions to any Trustee who misses two consecutive Board meetings or three Board meetings in any
twelvemonth period in the State of New Jersey, and a copy
of said notice shall be sent to the president of the County Bar
Association with respect to a County Trustee, the chairman of
the Section or Committee from which a Trustee has been
elected, or in the case of an At-Large Trustee to the Board of
Trustees.
(c) In the event of the death, resignation, disbarment, or suspension from the practice of law of any Officer or Trustee during
his/her term, the position shall be declared vacant and shall
be filled in accordance with the provisions of Article V hereof.
This Association shall be represented by one or more ABA
Delegates, consistent with the constitution, bylaws and rules of
that association. The President and President-Elect, if members of
the ABA, shall, by virtue of their offices, ex officio, serve in the first
two ABA Delegate positions, respectively, except that, in the first
year after adoption of these bylaws, only the President-Elect shall
serve in an ABA Delegate position. Remaining Delegates shall be
chosen pursuant to the Nominating and Election procedure outlined elsewhere in these Bylaws. No member of this Association
shall serve as such Delegate for more than five two-year terms,
whether consecutive or not, but this limitation shall not apply to
terms served ex officio. A Delegate appointed to serve an unexpired term shall be considered to have served one term if the time
remaining in such term at time of appointment shall exceed one
year. Notwithstanding the above limitation, nothing in this Section
shall limit ABA Delegates from completing a full term.

New sections created shall be added to the end of the
appropriate list at the time of creation. If any Section

numbers have changed such that the section should be
moved out of the recreated group, that section should
be added to the end of the appropriate group, but shall

Section is unable or unwilling to serve, preference shall be extended, in order of priority, to the officers of that section to serve in the
chair’s place. Should all of the officers be unable or unwilling to
serve then the Chair may select an individual who has served as

and shall be published as soon as practicable after it has been filed
with the Association. The chair of the Election Committee shall
receive a copy of the report.

General Council named in Paragraph 1 of this Article, except Past

terms of office.
The essential purpose of the General Council is to act as a forum for
the County Bar Associations and the various Sections, Divisions
and Committees of the Association to consider and bring to the
attention of the Association’s leadership matters of general concern to the organized bar which may impact on the practice of law
and the role of attorneys in society. The object of the Council’s
deliberations shall be to maintain a cohesive dialogue in order to
foster more effective communication, and thereby enhance the
Association’s ability to coordinate and take action on matters of
common concern.
The General Council shall meet at least once annually. Meetings of
the General Council shall be arranged by an Executive Committee
of the General Council consisting of ten (10) members thereof
appointed by the President of the Association, which Committee
shall annually select its Chairperson. The Executive Committee
shall solicit the views of the members of the General Council as to
the topics which are appropriate for the Council’s consideration
and shall set the agenda for the Council’s meetings based on said
views. In addition, the agenda for the Council’s meetings shall
include (a) an opportunity for debate of resolutions presented by
members of the Council, and (b) a report by the President of
actions taken by the Association since the last Council meeting on
resolutions adopted by the Council. The members of the Executive
Committee of the General Council shall serve staggered three-year
terms. The General Council shall recommend to the Board of
Trustees for consideration such action as the General Council
deems appropriate. Such recommendations shall be considered by
the Board of Trustees within ninety (90) days of the date of the
General Council meeting, and the Board of Trustees shall advise
the General Council membership in writing of the action taken. The
General Council Executive Committee shall establish a procedure
for the election of two members of the Nominating Committee
who shall be elected from among and by the members of the
General Council. That procedure shall provide for voting by all
members of the General Council, whether they are physically present at a meeting or not.
The President of each County Bar Association shall appoint alternate members from the county who are also members of the
Association to serve in place of members from that county who are
unable to attend any General Council meeting provided that official written notification of such appointments be submitted to the
Executive Director at Association headquarters prior to the commencement of the General Council meeting.

Sections or Divisions or create, consolidate or discontinue such

Trustees may establish, from time to time, certain other minimum
requirements for Section bylaws.

existing general members of the Committee or group, or such

submitted to and approved by the Board of Trustees, or such of its
members as the Board of Trustees may designate to act for it.
No report, recommendation or other action of any Entity other

for the determination thereof, the Executive Committee may
meet by conference call or be assembled in a meeting, and
further provided that the matter shall be reported to the
Board of Trustees at its next meeting.
The Entity shall in such communication specifically disclaim any
representation of the Association in the matter.
A member who, when making a public utterance, permits himself
or herself to be identified as having an official connection with the
Association or one of its Entities, shall, if the Association has determined a policy on the subject matter of the utterance, fairly state
that policy and, if expressing a view at variance with it, clearly
identify the variance as the member’s personal views only. If there
has not been, or the member has no knowledge of, any such policy
determination, the member shall nevertheless identify the utterance as personal views.
