The New Jersey Supreme Court has adopted Court Rule 1:42,
which sets forth requirements for mandatory continuing legal education
(MCLE) for New Jersey attorneys, today announced Mark Neary, clerk of
the Supreme Court. The new requirements are effective immediately.
In conjunction with the new court rule, the Court has amended its Administrative Determination
regarding the continuing legal education requirement. Both the court
rule and the administrative determination are the result of
recommendations made by the Ad Hoc Committee on Continuing Legal
Education. Retired Associate Justice Peter G. Verniero served as chair
of the committee, and retired Assignment Judge Arthur N. D’Italia
served as vice chair.
Under the new rule, all New Jersey attorneys are required to take 24
hours of continuing legal education every two years, including at least
four hours on topics related to ethics or professionalism. MCLE is
required for all New Jersey attorneys, including judges, law clerks and
in-house counsel. Attorneys will be responsible for verifying that they
have met the requirements and a random audit system will help ensure
compliance. This is a change from the prior system, where only new
attorneys and those seeking designation as certified attorneys in
specific areas of practice were required to take coursework beyond law
school.
