Supreme Court sets sights on mandatory malpractice insurance disclosure
The Administrative Office of the Courts is poised to propose formal adoption of new Rule 1:21D, creating an obligation on attorneys in private practice to file with the clerk of the Supreme Court a certificate of insurance with information on insurance coverage. The proposed rule is a result of recommendations from a report issued by the Supreme Court Ad Hoc Committee on Attorney Malpractice Insurance, issued in 2017. The New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) urged the Supreme Court not to adopt a mandatory insurance requirement or mandatory disclosure requirement for attorneys in comments submitted on the report in Jan. 2018.
