Last week, the New Jersey State Bar Association’s Commission on Professionalism honored some of the brightest lights of our craft, those who serve as an aspiration statement for us all. At the ceremony, the Daniel J. O’Hern Award was presented to Richard J. Badolato, and the Charles J. Hollenbeck Award to David G. Sciarra. In addition, a distinguished group of practitioners were honored with the Professional of the Year Award by their respective bar associations.

The ceremony provided an opportunity to remember why the law matters as much as it does, and how we, as lawyers, rightly uphold the public trust. I am proud every day to be a lawyer. I am thankful to be a member of the New Jersey bar, where practitioners like Messrs. Badolato and Sciarra and all of the day’s honorees vindicate and remind us of the excellence and also the nobility of our profession. Our state’s bar and its members are a special group, known for the abiding commitment to best practices and reliable civility.
