Pursuant to New Jersey State Bar Association bylaws, the General Council will vote this fall to elect a member to a two-year term on the NJSBA’s Nominating Committee. The committee is responsible for nominating candidates to serve as officers and trustees of the association, and as American Bar Association (ABA) delegates and members of the Nominating Committee.
Any member of the NJSBA’s General Council may become a candidate for a Nominating Committee seat by filing a petition(s) signed by no fewer than 10 members (original signatures only) of the General Council (as designated in the association’s bylaws, Article X(1)(A-E)). At the present time, nominees from Monmouth County are not eligible, pursuant to Article VIII(2)(h) of the association’s bylaws, which prohibits more than one of the two members elected to the Nominating Committee by the General Council to be from the same county.
