In many states, the training, licensing and disciplining of attorneys is the province of attorneys general (AGs), and not of attorneys, in general, as we have in New Jersey. Legislators and administrators create and control the universes within which their lawyers and judges exist. In New Jersey, we appreciate that the legislature has entrusted bar-related functions to our Supreme Court, giving it a broad and deep mandate to control the administration of law and justice.
Toward the end of the last century, when new disciplinary system and new rules (RPCs) were being put into action, new administrative apparatuses were required, each to be known by its initials (ABV), in proper modern convention. In an effort to demystify the acronyms of the ethics system, we offer here the most commonly used, along with some information about the entities that bear those letters.
