NJSBA to be heard as amicus in matter involving marijuana expungements and PTI

The state Appellate Division accepted the New Jersey State Bar Association’s (NJSBA) amicus brief in State v. Gomes (A-3477-20). The case concerns the question of whether a person who has previously participated in pretrial intervention (PTI) for an offense now expungable due to the passage of the Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act (CREAMMA) is again eligible for PTI services.
