Order – NJ Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection – 2024 Attorney Ineligible List

Pursuant to Rule 1:28-2, the Trustees of the New Jersey Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection (Fund) have reported to the Supreme Court the names of those attorneys who have neither made full payment to the Fund, the Disciplinary Oversight Committee, and the Lawyers Assistance Program for the calendar year 2024, nor demonstrated that they are entitled to an exemption from making such payment;

And the Court having had sent notice to each such attorney that unless all reporting and financial obligations were fully satisfied on or before April 26, 2024 their name would be published in the New Jersey Law Journal together with an Order of the Court declaring him or her ineligible to practice law;

IT IS ORDERED that pursuant to Rule 1:28-2(a), each attorney whose name appears on the attached Ineligible List shall be ineligible to engage in the practice of law in New Jersey, effective June 24, 2024; and it is further

ORDERED that each attorney whose name is included on the attached Ineligible List shall remain ineligible to practice law in New Jersey until all fees due have been paid in full or until entitlement to the military or retired exemption from payment for each ineligible year has been satisfactorily demonstrated to the Trustees; and it is further

ORDERED that this Order and the attached list of attorneys are to be posted on the Judiciary's website and published in the New Jersey Law Journal no later than June 24, 2024, and that a copy of this Order be mailed to each attorney whose name appears on the attached list at their address of record; and it is further
