NJSBA 2021–2022 President Domenick Carmagnola discusses achievements, lessons learned during his tenure

At next week's New Jersey State Bar Association Annual Meeting and Convention in Atlantic City, Domenick Carmagnola will conclude his term as president of the state's largest organization of judges, lawyers and legal professionals.

During his tenure, the Association accomplished a great deal to ensure New Jersey lawyers are supported, informed and have the necessary tools to flourish. It advanced critical legislation and was an important voice on amicus matters; examined the issue of bias and discrimination in both jury selection and the profession; remained ever-committed to helping the New Jersey legal community successfully transition from the pandemic-induced shutdown by promoting job fairs, wellness programs and special events; and raised alarm bells about the judicial vacancy crisis facing our court system.

"It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the members as the president of the New Jersey State Bar Association," Carmagnola said. "I have always had the utmost respect for the bench, the bar, and my colleagues in this profession. That respect has grown tenfold after working closely with so many smart, talented and committed members who have volunteered their time, expertise and passion to address the critical issues facing the profession."
