N.J. COURT COMMITTEE REQUIRES MOST OUT-OF-STATE LAWYERS TO REGISTER FOR ADR

摘要

A New Jersey Supreme Court committee is requiring attorneys participating in alternative dispute resolution processes to register with the state. The committee's opinion, focusing on New Jersey's 2004 adaptation of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, applies to ADR in courts and private settings. It goes further than other multijurisdictional rules because it recommends that ADR providers inform out-of-state participants in New Jersey matters of the need to familiarize themselves with the opinion, the state's version of the conduct rules, and the need for pro hac vice-style admission.
