The New Jersey State Board Association’s Board of Trustees adopted an $11 million fiscal year budget and acted on several issues—ranging from proposals to reduce bias in jury selection to amicus cases—during its June 16 meeting at the New Jersey Law Center in New Brunswick.

The budget, which takes effect on July 1, projects an annual revenue of about $11 million and nearly the equivalent in anticipated expenses. Under the budget plan, first-year members will continue to be offered free dues and free membership in the NJSBA Young Lawyers Division. The budget anticipates a resumption of more in-person events, though the NJSBA will continue to offer virtual and hybrid options for some meetings and programs.
