From friendly banter between legal adversaries during breaks in the courtroom to practicing without bias, professionalism in the law was the subject of discussion for a panel of state and federal judges, lawyers and law school deans who convened for the New Jersey Commission on Professionalism in the Law’s recent 25th anniversary program.
The panelists, who represented the various groups that comprise the commission, included New Jersey Supreme Court Associate Justice Barry T. Albin, U.S. District Court Chief Judge Freda L. Wolfson, Rutgers Law School-Newark Co-Dean David Lopez, Rutgers Law School-Camden Co-Dean Kimberly Mutcherson, Seton Hall Law School Dean Kathleen A. Boozang, New Jersey State Bar Association President Kimberly A. Yonta and former commission Executive Director Charles J. Hollenbeck. Commission Chair Karol Corbin Walker moderated the online discussion.
