New Jersey Law Journal Professional Excellence
They may be on the way up, but they're really not “new.” They have already demonstrated their talent and dedication, and are building impressive careers for themselves, serving their clients, and leading the legal profession in New Jersey. The honorees below come from a variety of backgrounds and handle a wide array of legal work, but each has made his or her mark, and shows promise for much, much more.
