New Jersey State Bar Association general members will be asked this week to vote on a proposal to update the bylaws.
The Board of Trustees has approved a proposed change regarding the association’s Judicial and Prosecutorial Appointments Committee (JPAC). For nearly 50 years, the Association has had a Compact with the governor’s office to review candidates in a confidential process. The association’s JPAC is what conducts a non-partisan review and vetting of candidates for the bench and prosecutor positions.
