Editor's Note: A story on Judge John E. Keefe Sr., of counsel at Keefe Law Firm, who is also receiving the Medal of Honor, appeared in a previous issue. Because of the pandemic, the awards will be presented at a later date.
When Morristown Medical Center's nonprofit tax-exempt status was challenged by the municipality, Susan A. Feeney, one of the foremost authorities on New Jersey state and local taxes, was brought in to help settle the case, which was closely watched around the country. Feeney's expertise helped settle the decades-long property tax dispute in 2015 and paved the way for other not-for-profits to settle similar challenges in New Jersey.
Over the course of an illustrious career, Feeney, a partner at McCarter & English in Newark, has become one of the state's go-to property tax appeal lawyers. She has litigated numerous cases in the New Jersey Tax Court and the New Jersey Supreme Court, and some of these precedent-setting decisions have helped forge new tax law.
