I am grateful to have been able to share my thoughts with you, the members of the state’s largest organization of attorneys, judges and other legal professionals, about the value of really talking to each other and a willingness to be open to many viewpoints in our pursuits.

Now, with this final column as president of the NJSBA, I write to urge you to use your voice to stand up for what is right. To stand by in silence is to be complicit. We are required to do more, to speak up and join together in a chorus for change.
