Reporters and photographers are welcome to cover the event. 

Thursday’s highlights:

Seminars showcase several current, retired and former members of the New Jersey Supreme Court, as well as representatives of the federal bench and Legislature. Programming will cover hot topics, including human trafficking technology, clean energy, civility issues in entertainment law, including:

  • Racial and Ethnic Identities in America: Myths, Facts and the Power of Illusion

Officers sworn in:

A new slate of officers will be installed tonight to lead the association’s executive committee. Miles S. Winder III will become president of the association. New Jersey Chief Justice Stuart Rabner will administer the oath of office. The event begins at 7 p.m.

Winder said he is humbled to serve as the 117th president of the association. The solo practitioner from Bernardsville said that during his tenure as president he will oversee the implementation of a leadership academy, continue the work of a commission that is looking for ways to address the unmet legal needs of residents as well as the need among many in the legal community for viable clients; and advocate for an impartial judicial branch and for the critical role attorneys must play in the future of the profession.

In addition to Winder’s installation, the other members of the executive committee will move up the succession ladder. Thomas H. Prol becomes president-elect; Robert B. Hille becomes first vice president; John E. Keefe Jr. becomes second vice president; Evelyn Padin becomes treasurer. Paris P. Eliades becomes immediate past president. 

Coming Friday:

Chief Justice Stuart Rabner and U.S. District Court of New Jersey Chief Judge Jerome Simandle will deliver State-of-the-Judiciary speeches at 9 a.m., which will be followed by a speech from American Bar Association President-Elect Paulette Brown and a seminar on judicial independence.
