At its virtual holiday party last week, the New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) Family Law Section raised nearly $15,000 for the Food Bank of South Jersey through a silent auction and cash donations.

The Family Law Section has a holiday tradition of raising funds for charitable causes, said Ronald G. Lieberman, chair of the section.

"I wanted to raise funds for the food bank because of the heartbreaking food insecurity being experienced by so many of our fellow New Jerseyans this year because of the pandemic. As lawyers, we are fortunate to be part of a noble profession, and part of that good fortune means doing whatever we can, whenever we can, for people who need assistance," Lieberman said.
