The New Jersey State Bar Association’s Family Law Section will present its annual Saul Tischler Award on April 9 to two family law attorneys who have made significant lifelong contributions toward advancing the development of the practice and profession, through community service, education and advocacy. This year’s recipients—Amy Shimalla and Amy Wechsler of Lawrence Law in Watchung—are longtime veterans of the NJSBA Family Law Section, Somerset County Bar Association and frequent CLE lecturers on family law matters. The pair spoke recently about the award and their careers. 

What does it mean to you to receive the Tischler Award?
