The New Jersey Law Journal Young Lawyers Advisory Board recently issued a piece stating that it believes that “CLE Requirements Are a Giant Scam.” While we can appreciate that some lawyers may have had enough of hitting the books after finishing three years of law school, it is important to remember that legal practice requires constant vigilance in keeping up on the ever-changing state of the law. Indeed, the New Jersey Supreme Court joined nearly every state across the nation in determining that attorneys and judges must keep hitting the books as long as they want to practice because this helps us best serve the public through competent, knowledgeable legal analysis and scholarship.
The New Jersey State Bar Association is proud to be at the forefront of helping attorneys and judges be the best they can be—as advocates, lawyers and citizens—and we engage this important mission through our legal educational arm, the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education. The NJSBA is honored to be able to develop creative and cutting-edge programming for New Jersey lawyers and jurists as they engage their obligations as officers of the court and fulfill the Constitutional mandate to pursue a “more perfect union.”
