This month, the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education (NJICLE) is holding several seminars focused on timely topics.

“Legal & Ethical Considerations When Navigating Corporate Negotiations & Investigations” will be held Sept. 8, at The Imperia in Somerset, and is sponsored by the New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) Senior Lawyers Special Committee. Retired Assignment Judge Travis L. Francis will moderate a program that includes some of the leading attorneys, lawmakers and government officials in New Jersey. The panel will include Senator Kevin O'Toole, Attorney General Christopher Porrino, Thomas P. Scrivo, former counsel to the governor, as well as Paul B. Matey, Christopher M. Placitella, and Ellen Torregrossa-O'Connor.

On Sept. 11, Jon Finer, who served as chief of staff and director of policy planning under Secretary of State John Kerry, will be the featured speaker at the program “Global Risk in the New World Order—A Briefing for Attorneys.” Finer, a foreign policy expert, and notable international lawyers Patricia Apy, Eric Chase and Steven Richman, will discuss the changes attorneys need to understand in Washington, and how they will impact the world. The program will take place at the New Jersey Law Center in New Brunswick.
