The New Jersey Supreme Court grappled last week with whether lawyer-run mediation centers that profess not to give legal advice are subject to law-firm naming rules. The Committee on Attorney Advertising held last year that the rules apply to the Alpha Center for Divorce Mediation. Justice Roberto Rivera-Soto indicated that the current rule can be misleading, noting for example that a McCarter & English client wishing to speak to a name partner will "have to have a seance since they've been dead for a while."
