The New Jersey Supreme Court has agreed to consider whether alternative dispute resolution service JAMS should be allowed to operate in the state free of ethics rules on trade names, trust accounts and other issues.
The court on Oct. 4 agreed to review a joint determination by three of its panels—the Advisory Committee on Professional Ethics, the Committee on the Unauthorized Practice of Law and the Committee on Attorney Advertising—finding that JAMS, since it provides legal services, must abide by the Rules of Professional Conduct.
