At the public rules hearing before the New Jersey Supreme Court this week, Diana Manning, managing principal of Bressler, Amery & Ross, spoke on behalf of the State Bar Association in support of a rule change that would allow service of discovery demands and motions by email on opposing counsel, among other things.

In a March 29 letter, written by former New Jersey State Bar Association President Timothy F. McGoughran, the association detailed its feedback on the proposed rules, including support for proposed changes to New Jersey Court Rules 1:5-2, regarding manner of service, and 1:11-2, requiring a notice of appearance where an attorney initially appears in a matter.
