The New Jersey State Bar Association will host its annual Member Celebration Days from Oct. 7-11 as a tribute to the thousands of members and volunteers who work hard in the profession every day.
The week will feature a series of free programs and events, both virtual and in-person, that demonstrate the value of an NJSBA membership for the state’s largest organization of judges, lawyers and legal professionals. Programs are available for NJSBA members to improve their practice skills, network with colleagues, find leadership opportunities and take advantage of the NJSBA’s many member benefits.
All week, members can help feed the New Jersey community by bringing nonperishable food items to the New Jersey Law Center in New Brunswick. All proceeds will benefit the Community Food Bank of New Jersey. Members can also donate to Danny’s Pantry, established this year in remembrance of Daniel Anderl, the son of U.S. District Judge Esther Salas.
Each day of the week offers events to help NJSBA members prosper and grow in the profession:
