The pandemic presents myriad legal issues and New Jersey Lawyer, a publication of the New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA), tackles some of those in its April edition. Practice areas covered include employment law, criminal justice and landlord-tenant law, as well as thorny constitutional issues.
The magazine begins with an article advising employers and employees—especially in the public sector—on what vaccine requirements employers can implement. NJSBA Trustee John L. Shahdanian II and Valentina M. Scirica offer an overview of established law and its application to COVID-19.
It is followed by a piece by Laura A. Siclari and Allison N. Zsamba, who discuss employment leave and liability litigation in a post-pandemic world, including eligibility under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act. The discussion on employment considerations continues with Joseph H. Tringali's article on wage and hour requirements.
