The New Jersey State Bar Association Board of Trustees approved revisions to the manual that guides the association’s Judicial and Prosecutorial Appointments Committee (JPAC) at its regular meeting on April 20.
The revisions largely address changes made when Gov. Phil Murphy signed the Hughes Compact in March, continuing the non-partisan role the NJSBA has played in reviewing candidates for bench and prosecutors’ positions across the state. The new agreement restores a significant role for county bars, outlined in the Compact itself, as part of the confidential candidate review process. It also adds three seats to the committee, to be designated for members from underrepresented groups in the legal profession.
