Courtesy, Respect And New Jersey

From the web page of the New Jersey Supreme Court

The Supreme Court invites comment on the report of its Special Committee on Attorney Ethics and Admissions. Click here to read the notice to the bar and click here to read the report. The comment period closes August 1.

The court’s notice states that a separate committee will make recommendations regarding the ethics of metadata in Rule 4.4(b).

The Special Committee recommends a new Rule 8.4(h) that will require New Jersey lawyers to “treat with courtesy and respect all persons involved in the legal process.”
