"We think this rule falls far outside what is a reasonable rule of unethical because one, it conflicts with the SEC's rule; two, it conflicts with the common law; and three, the secretary has pointed to no authority outside the state that has adopted a similar rule," Amy M.

"Although we recognize that Judge Burns's comment was intemperate and regrettable, we find that it was an isolated and unplanned statement that was not intended to degrade the defendant. At best, the comment reflected a momentary 'error of judgment' rather than gross indifference, intentionality, or moral turpitude that would rise to the level of a sanctionable Canon 3(B)(4) violation," the review panel said.

Riker Danzig deeply mourns the passing of our esteemed partner, dear friend and beloved colleague, Marc D'Angiolillo.
IN MEMORIAM OUR FRIEND, MENTOR, AND COLLEAGUE It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our partner, friend, mentor, and colleague Bruce I. Goldstein, on September 2, 2023. The prominent New Jersey trial attorney was 80. In a legal career spanning more than five decades, Bruce was regarded as one of the most talented and sought after litigators in New Jersey. His love for the legal profession was contagious. Bruce will be greatly missed, as will his signature greeting, How you be? and the outsized smile that accompanied it.
