Hear a summary and analysis of key cases from the past year that will affect your practice of law.
The New Jersey State Bar Association has a robust amicus curiae program where it seeks to participate in cases where the outcome will establish important overarching policy positions. Find out from the lead attorneys representing the NJSBA in recent cases what policy issues were at stake and what the results mean for your practice going forward. You’ll walk away with an arsenal of information you can apply right away to the cases you are handling in a variety of practice areas including ethics/professionalism, civil litigation, family law, real estate transactions and criminal practice.
Also, hear from former Justice Jaynee LaVecchia about amicus and how to effectively present an amicus argument that will advocate for your client’s policy position and assist the Court in resolving matters of public importance.
The specific cases that will be discussed are:
- In re Wade – Directed additional review of creating a potential path to reinstatement after disbarment.
- W.S. v. Hildreth – Allowed child sexual abuse victims to seek redress for their claims even when a Tort Claims notice was not filed in a timely manner.
- Cardali v. Cardali – Established a clear standard and procedure for determining cohabitation to support the termination of alimony payments.
- Fitzpatrick v. Qasim – Concluded that, so long as there is actual notice of disapproval of a residential real estate contract, the notice is valid even if it is not transmitted in the manner set forth in the contract.
- Facebook, Inc. v. State of New Jersey – Affirmed the necessity of a heightened showing to obtain a search warrant for social media messages that are prospective in nature and are sought to be obtained on a near contemporaneous basis.
