Earlier this year, the Law Journal sought nominations for its annual New Leaders of the Bar honors. As has been the case each year, the response was fantastic and we received dozens upon dozens of nominations, all of which demonstrated the depth of legal talent in New Jersey and seemed to indicate that the future of the state’s legal community is very bright.
The nomination forms were sent to a seven-member judging panel composed of evaluators from all corners of the legal profession and around the state. After reviewing their results, the following 47 attorneys have been selected as the 2016 New Leaders of the Bar:
