New Jersey Trust and Business Accounting
New Jersey lawyers are required to comply with the Supreme Court’s mandatory recordkeeping rule, R. 1:21-6 and ethics rule RPB 1.15 (“Safekeeping or Property.”) From a practical perspective, you are likely to have thousands of dollars or more of money from different clients in your attorney trust account at one time. There are strong penalties for comingling the funds and strict recordkeeping rules that set forth how the money should be accounted and under what circumstances it can be withdrawn. Further, since 1981, the New Jersey Supreme Court has operated the random audit program in order to determine an attorney’s compliance with these rules. At some point, every lawyer in New Jersey will be randomly audited.
Most attorneys understand the necessity of maintaining proper trust and business accounts, but may be unsure of all of the specifics. This program will provide that and more. Experts will take you through the trust and business accounting process as prescribed by the RPC’s. You will receive practical tips for keeping up with all of the requirements even in your busiest times. You will also learn what to do to prepare for an audit. |
New Jersey Municipal Court Practice
There are over 500 municipal courts in New Jersey, which is why municipal courts are the most common place – and often the only place- where New Jersey citizens come into contact with the court system. They are also among the first cases that recently admitted attorneys are likely to handle.
This program will familiarize you with the practices and procedures of New Jersey’s municipal courts. Seasoned practitioners who have handled hundreds of municipal court matters will provide you with an overview of the local court system, review the types of cases that are heard in municipal courts and provide you with practical information for successfully handling a case.
