Gorman Installed as Burlington County Bar President

Brett E.J. Gorman was installed as the president of the Burlington County Bar Association at the installation dinner in Mount Holly on June 3. Gorman, of Parker McCay in Mount Laurel, has served as a trustee, and in officer roles, for the association since 2015. He most recently served as president-elect. In 2015 he received the association's Robert W. Criscuolo Award, presented annually to a young attorney committed to the legal profession and the community. As the association's chair of the Burlington County Mock Trial Program (2013-present), Gorman encourages and mentors high school students interested in a career in law by coordinating the competition each year. "I will focus my attention on the social aspects of the bar association to create more cohesion and collegiality amongst the Burlington County attorneys," Gorman said in a statement. "At its core, the bar association is a tool to bring the bench and bar together to meet the collegial ideals set forth in the Rules of Professional Conduct. With the ending of the pandemic, we have a unique opportunity to reimagine that purpose. Through collaboration with various members of the Association, we will offer both unique and long forgotten events and initiatives that will benefit all members and the Bar Association as a whole. I look forward to working with everyone to meet this goal." Gorman is a litigator with his firm's public schools and education department. He received his law degree from Rutgers Law School in 2009 and his B.A. from Rutgers University in 2006.
