Continuing the momentum of the lame duck session, the Legislature has considered and moved quickly on several bills of interest to the New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA).
A-4626 (Mosquera)/S-497 (Vitale) allows prior statements by children to be admitted into evidence in child abuse and termination of parental rights cases. Testifying on this bill was NJSBA Trustee Jeffrey Fiorello, who urged the sponsors to consider an amendment narrowing the scope of the admission of such statements in Title 30 matters.
