NJSBA Board of Trustees takes action at March meeting

The New Jersey State Bar Association's governing body last week approved a preliminary budget, new member benefits and acted on pending legislation. The Board of Trustees met at the New Jersey Law Center in New Brunswick on March 11.

The trustees approved a preliminary operating budget for fiscal year 2022-2023, which starts July 1. The proposed budget reflects about $11 million in projected revenue and nearly the equivalent in projected expenses. First-year members will be offered free dues and free membership in the NJSBA Young Lawyers Division. The plan anticipates a resumption of in-person events, but will also continue to offer virtual and hybrid options for events, meetings that keep members up to date and provide benefit to their practice and professional endeavors.

The Association will continue to provide meaningful membership experiences, including printing New Jersey Lawyer magazine and installing additional enhancements of the technology at the New Jersey Law Center to better serve the legal community. The preliminary budget will be published, per the bylaws, and reviewed by the Board before it is finalized in June.
