I see that New Jersey has amended its rules concerning the maintenance of a law office in the jurisdiction to allow for a "virtual" presence instead of the traditional "bricks and sticks" requirement. Fascinating. If anyone thinks technology is not going to reshape how the practice of law is defined and legal services are delivered, think again.
We don’t have to worry much about our judges adopting this rule because Connecticut has no "in state office" rule and many practitioners with Connecticut juris numbers (both individual and firm) have offices elsewhere. Even in our federal courts, the only local requirement is a mailing address. There are plenty of ways to meet both the letter and the spirit of that rule without paying rent.
