PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE 

Richard H. Steen 

THE PAST CENTURY HAS BROUGHT MORE CHANGE IN THE PRACTICE OF LAW THAN 

IN ANY PERIOD BEFORE, EVEN GOING BACK TO THE DAYS OF THE ANCIENT 

ROMANS AND GREEKS WHO ESTABLISHED THE ROOTS OF THE LEGAL SYSTEM. 

Yet while much of what lawyers do and how they do it has changed, the underpinnings of this 

profession have remained steadfast. Lawyers are who people trust to help them navigate the legal 

system to resolve their most critical problems. 

That is our honor and privilege. 

It can also be a challenge, especially at a time when many practitioners continue to struggle to 

regain their footing as a result of the current economic recession. 

The New Jersey State Bar Association, representing over 17,000 members as the leading voice 

of the profession in this great state, stands ready to help our members and our colleagues address the issues confronting 

them and chart a course to success. 

Issues like the economy’s continued effects on our job market; the need to promote diversity in the legal community; 

the delivery of legal services, and our obligation to protect judicial independence. 

In the coming months, we will continue to help lawyers get their practices up and running, and be a resource for 

those who have already hung out their own shingle. 

We will convene a Summit on Diversity to examine ways to ensure that the legal profession in our great state is 

welcoming to all and to chart a path forward toward the goal of a more inclusive profession. 

The State Bar Association will also examine the delivery of legal services through a task force to track trends like 

outsourcing and multi-disciplinary practice to understand what needs to be done to protect the public and preserve our 

professional values. 

And just as it was when we were established over 100 years ago, the State Bar Association is committed to preserving 

the sanctity of our justice system—because every judge in our courts and every resident of New Jersey deserves it. 

These are exhilarating and invigorating times and throughout this year we will be hard at work for you. 

Our committees and sections are dedicated to exploring legal and legislative developments, and can now present 

programs to help our lawyers meet their mandatory continuing legal education requirements. 

Our benefits, such as Fastcase, make it easier for you provide the best legal guidance you can. 

Our exciting conferences, the Annual Meeting and Convention and Mid-Year Meeting, provide opportunities for 

members to meet one another, get valuable CLE credits and so much more. 

And our home, the New Jersey Law Center, has undergone a multi-million dollar renovation making it the premiere 

destination for everything from educational seminars to meetings that can be broadcast via the Internet to trial 

preparation. 

After all, this is what the Bar Association is about: examining the tough issues so you know what is at stake and 

offering insight and innovation about the path ahead. 

I am proud of our profession and proud to be involved in the exciting work of the Association. I welcome your ideas 

and suggestions.

NEW JERSEY COMMISSION ON PROFESSIONALISM IN THE LAW 

Principles of Professionalism 

for Lawyers and Judges 

PREAMBLE 

Adherence to standards of professional responsibility, along 

with a broad respect for the law, is a hallmark of an enlightened 

and effective system of justice. The conduct of lawyers and 

judges should be characterized at all times by professional 

integrity and personal courtesy in the fullest sense of those 

terms. Both are indispensable ingredients in the practice of 

law, and in the orderly administration of justice by our courts. 

The following Principles, which focus on the goals of professionalism 

and civility, are designed to assist and encourage 

judges and lawyers to meet their professional obligations. We 

encourage all judges and lawyers to make a commitment to these 

Principles, and to conduct themselves in a manner that preserves 

the dignity and honor of the judiciary and the legal profession. 

PRINCIPLES 

Lawyers’ Relations With Clients 

1. To a client, a lawyer owes diligence, competence, faithfulness 

and good judgment, in the pursuit of client objectives. 

2. Clients must be treated with respect. A lawyer should provide 

objective advice and strive to represent the client’s 

interests as expeditiously and efficiently as possible. Lines 

of communication must be kept open and explanations 

provided for actions taken in the course of representation. 

Billing practices should be fully explained to a client at the 

time representation is undertaken. 

3. Clients should be advised against pursuing a course of 

action that is without merit, and should avoid tactics that 

are intended to harass, or drain the financial resources of 

the opposing party. 

4. Clients should be advised that professional courtesy, fair 

tactics, civility, and adherence to the rules and law are compatible 

with vigorous advocacy and zealous representation. 

Lawyers’ Relations With Other Counsel 

1. To opposing counsel, a lawyer owes a duty of respect, courtesy 

and fair dealing, candor in the pursuit of the truth, 

cooperation in all respects not inconsistent with the client’s 

interests, and scrupulous observance of all agreements and 

mutual understandings. 

2. A lawyer should respect a colleague’s schedule. Agreement 

should be sought on dates for meetings, conferences, depositions, 

hearings, trials and other events. A reasonable request 

for a scheduling accommodation, extension of time, or waiver 

of procedural formalities should not be refused if the interests 

of a client will not be adversely affected. 

3. Forms of pleading, discovery, motions, or other papers, 

should not be used as a means of harassment, or for gaining 

an unfair advantage. The filing or service of motions, pleadings 

or other papers should not be timed so as to unfairly 

limit another party’s opportunity to respond, or harass 

counsel. 

4. In the conduct of negotiations, or litigation, a lawyer 

should conduct himself or herself with dignity and fairness 

and refrain from conduct meant to harass the opposing 

party. A lawyer should not advance groundless claims, 

defenses and objections. 

Lawyers’ Relations With the Court 

1. To the court, a lawyer owes honesty, respect, diligence, candor 

and punctuality. A lawyer has a duty to act in a manner 

consistent with the proper functioning of a fair, efficient 

and humane system of justice. 

2. A lawyer must avoid frivolous litigation and nonessential 

pleading in litigation. Settlement possibilities should be 

explored at the earliest reasonable date, and agreement 

should be sought on procedural and discovery matters. 

Delays not dictated by a competent and justified presentation 

of a client’s claims or defenses should be avoided. 

3. As an officer of the court, a lawyer should act with complete 

honesty; show respect for the court by proper demeanor; 

and act and speak civilly to the judge, court staff and adversaries, 

with an awareness that all involved are integral parts 

of the justice system. 

4. A lawyer should strive to protect the dignity and independence 

of the judiciary, particularly from unjust criticism and attack. 

Judges’ Relations With Lawyers and Others 

1. To lawyers, parties and all participants in the legal process, 

a judge owes courtesy, patience, respect, diligence, punctuality 

and fairness. 

2. A judge must maintain control of proceedings and has an 

obligation to ensure that proceedings are conducted in a 

civil manner. Judges should establish a climate of professionalism 

that upholds the dignity of the bench and bar. A 

judge should show respect for the bar by treating lawyers 

with civility and personal courtesy. 

3. A judge should ensure that disputes are resolved in a prompt 

and efficient manner. However, hearings, meetings, conferences 

and trials should be scheduled with appropriate consideration 

to the schedules of lawyers, parties and witnesses. 

4. A judge should remain knowledgeable of the law, rules and 

procedure, and apply them in a fair and consistent manner 

that enables all parties an adequate opportunity to present 

their cases.

BYLAWS 

ARTICLE I 

Membership 

1. Any person who is a member in good standing of 

the Bar of New Jersey or who holds a limited 

license to practice law in New Jersey shall be eligible 

for general membership in this Association, 

which shall be a condition to serving as an Officer, 

Trustee, Association Delegate to the American Bar 

Association House of Delegates (“ABA Delegate”), 

or a member of the Nominating or Judicial and 

Prosecutorial Appointments Committees. 

2. Any person who is neither a member, a holder 

of a limited license nor has been disbarred or 

suspended from the Bar of New Jersey shall be 

eligible for associate membership provided the 

person is: 

(a.) A member in good standing of the bar of 

any other jurisdiction; 

(b.) Any student who is enrolled in any ABAaccredited 

law school; 

(c.) Any person employed by a law firm, corporate 

or government legal department, judicial 

or legal agency, or other entity devoted 

primarily to the practice of law, regardless 

of the title by which the person is classified 

with the entity, if such person devotes all 

working time to the performance of managerial 

and administrative duties connected 

with the entity; 

(d.) A paralegal/legal assistant who is qualified 

through education, training, or work experience, 

is employed or retained by a lawyer, 

law office, governmental agency or other 

entity in a capacity or function which 

involves the performance, under the direction 

and supervision of a lawyer, of specifically 

delegated substantive legal work, 

which work, for the most part, requires 

sufficient knowledge of legal concepts 

that, absent that paralegal or legal assistant, 

the lawyer would perform the task; 

(e.) A person who is a dean, teacher or professor 

of law at an ABA-accredited law school; or 

(f.) A person employed by a law firm, corporation 

or governmental department, judicial 

or legal agency, or other entity devoted primarily 

to the practice of law, whose duties 

are those of law librarian, and who by training 

and qualifications is capable of rendering 

special services or being of assistance to 

lawyers incident to their utilization of a law 

library. 

Associate members shall not be eligible to vote 

or hold office in this Association or in any 

Section or Division. 

3. The Board of Trustees, by two-thirds vote, 

may elect such persons as it deems fit to distinguished 

membership in the Association. 

Distinguished members shall not be eligible 

to vote or hold office in this Association, or in 

any Section or Division thereof, unless they 

are eligible to vote and hold office under section 

1 of this Article. 

4. A person who has been a general member of 

this Association for 40 years shall become a 

general member emeritus. 

5. Membership shall terminate upon disbarment 

or resignation and shall cease during the period 

of any suspension from the practice of law. 

6. (a) A member may be expelled, suspended or 

censured for conduct which brings discredit 

to the Association. The power shall rest 

exclusively in the Board of Trustees, which 

may authorize the President to appoint a 

committee of three to hear complaints or 

grievances against a member. 

(b) A member shall receive thirty (30) days notice 

in writing of any complaint made against 

him or her. The notice shall specify the 

charges against the member and shall advise 

the member of the time and place of the 

hearing, which shall be held either before the 

Board of Trustees or a committee appointed 

in accordance with this section. The complainant 

shall be copied on the notice. 

(c) Both the complainant and the member may 

appear, be represented by counsel and present 

evidence on their behalf. If the hearing 

is held before a committee, the committee 

shall report its findings in writing to the 

Board of Trustees, which shall then decide 

whether or not to expel, suspend or censure 

the member. 

(d) Expulsion, suspension or censure of a 

member shall require a two-third (2/3) vote 

of the Board of Trustees. Any suspension 

decision of the Board of Trustees shall also 

include terms of reinstatement for the 

member, which shall then be conveyed to 

the member in writing. A suspended member 

may apply to the Board of Trustees for 

reinstatement following the period of suspension 

and upon meeting the terms of 

reinstatement. A suspended member shall 

be reinstated upon a majority vote of the 

Board of Trustees. 

(e) All proceedings, including the filing of a 

complaint, shall be confidential and not 

made public unless an accused member is 

expelled, suspended or censured. At such 

time as the Board of Trustees votes to expel, 

suspend or censure a member, the Board of 

Trustees shall also decide, in its discretion, 

whether the investigative reports, the complaint 

or the disciplinary decision by the 

Board of Trustees shall be made public. 

7. Wherever these Bylaws use the words “from the 

county”, “from a county” or “from that county” 

they shall be construed to mean the county 

annually designated by the member. Such designation 

shall be limited to (1) the county in 

which the member’s home is located; (2) the 

county in which the member’s office is located; 

or (3) the county which is the member’s primary 

county of practice and in which the member 

is a member of the county bar association. 

Should a member fail to designate a county, the 

address that is used by the Association to mail 

official member information shall be used to 

determine the county designation. 

8. Wherever these Bylaws use the terms “Specialty 

Bar Association” or “Specialty Bar” they shall be 

construed to mean the Asian Pacific American 

Lawyers Association of New Jersey, Association of 

Black Women Lawyers of New Jersey, Garden State 

Bar Association, Hispanic Bar Association of New 

Jersey, New Jersey Women Lawyers Association 

and such other associations as shall be designated 

periodically by the Board of Trustees. 

ARTICLE II 

Dues 

1. Dues shall be payable annually in an amount 

and manner fixed by the Board of Trustees from 

time to time, provided that general members 

emeritus, distinguished members and any 

other group designated by the Board of Trustees 

shall be exempt from payment of dues. 

2. The membership of any member who remains 

delinquent in dues for a period of ninety (90) 

days from the time dues become due, after adequate 

notification, shall be terminated. 

ARTICLE III 

Officers and Trustees 

1. The Officers of the Association shall be elected 

from among the general membership of the 

Association and shall be a President, President- 

Elect, First Vice President, Second Vice 

President, Treasurer and Secretary, each of 

whom shall hold office for a term of one year 

and until a successor shall have been elected 

and qualified. 

2. Persons holding judicial positions, other than 

municipal judges, shall not be eligible to be 

Officers or Trustees in the Association. 

3. The President shall preside at all meetings of 

the Association, appoint the members of all

following their appointment. In the event 

that the Board of Trustees continues the 

Special Committee, it shall be necessary for 

the President to appoint a Chairperson and 

members. There shall be a presumption 

against reappointment to a Special 

Committee of any member who had previously 

been appointed to such Special 

Committee and who had not attended any 

meetings of such Special Committee during 

the previous year. 

(i) The President shall have the authority to 

appoint additional members to serve on 

any Standing Committee only during the 

President’s term of office, unless otherwise 

(j) 

limited by these Bylaws. 

Except as provided in Article VIII, section 

5(b), the President of the Association shall 

be an ex officio member of every 

Committee of the Association. The 

President may designate another individual 

to serve in the President’s place on any 

Committee. If the President’s designee is a 

member of the Association staff, the 

President shall consult with the Executive 

Director before making the designation. 

Except as provided in Article VIII, section 

5(b), neither the President nor the 

President’s designee shall be entitled to a

call of its chairperson. Each Committee shall, 

subject to the determination of the Board of 

Trustees, determine its own meeting procedures. 

Each Committee shall meet at least twice 

annually. 

ARTICLE IX 

Representation of the Association 

1. The President, or a person designated by the 

President, shall express the policy of the 

Association as determined by the Association 

or by the Board of Trustees and shall make no 

statements nor take any public positions or 

actions in conflict with those of the Association. 

No Division, Section, Committee (“Entity”), 

other member, or employee may represent the 

Association or any other Entity thereof before 

any legislative body, court, governmental 

agency, or other tribunal, or communicate with 

any news media or the general public on behalf 

of the Association, or any other Entity thereof, 

unless authorized to do so by the Board of 

Trustees. No Entity, or member thereof, shall 

communicate any view or position on behalf of 

said Entity before any legislative body, court, 

governmental agency or other tribunal, or to 

any news media or the general public, except in 

accordance with section 3 of this Article. 

Whenever representation requires the filing of 

any report or brief, no such report or brief shall 

be filed until a copy thereof has been submitted 

to and approved by the Board of Trustees, or 

such of its members as the Board of Trustees 

may designate to act for it. 

2. No report, recommendation or other action of 

any Entity other than the Judicial and 


Prosecutorial Appointments Committee shall 

be considered as the action of the Association 

until it shall have been approved by the Board 

of Trustees. No Entity or any member thereof 

shall release any report of such Entity to the 

public without the approval of the Board of 

Trustees. The Board of Trustees may authorize 

an Entity to communicate the view of the Entity 

upon a finding either that the Association has 

taken no position on the issue or that the communication 

does not conflict with the best 

interests of the Association. 

3. An Entity may communicate its view or position 

before a legislative body, governmental 

agency, court, or other tribunal, or to the news 

media in the following circumstances: 

(a) The particular communication is approved 

by the Board of Trustees; or 

(b) The matter giving rise to the need for the 

communication is sufficiently urgent that it 

cannot await a meeting of the Board of 

Trustees, and the particular communication 

is approved by at least a majority of the 

Executive Committee, provided that for the 

determination thereof, the Executive 

Committee may meet by conference call or 

be assembled in a meeting, and further provided 

that the matter shall be reported to 

the Board of Trustees at its next meeting. 

The Entity shall in such communication 

specifically disclaim any representation of the 

Association in the matter. 

4. A member who, when making a public utterance, 

permits himself or herself to be identified 

as having an official connection with the 

Association or one of its Entities, shall, if the 

Association has determined a policy on the 

subject matter of the utterance, fairly state that 

policy and, if expressing a view at variance with 

it, clearly identify the variance as the member’s 

personal views only. If there has not been, or 

the member has no knowledge of, any such policy 

determination, the member shall nevertheless 

identify the utterance as personal views.

Teaching Law for the Layperson 

THE NEW JERSEY STATE BAR FOUNDATION 

REACHES INTO THE SCHOOLS TO TEACH 

CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS ABOUT THE LAW 

THROUGH HANDS-ON PROGRAMS LIKE LAW FAIR 

AND LAW ADVENTURE; THE VINCENT J. APRUZZESE 

HIGH SCHOOL MOCK TRIAL COMPETITION; 

LAW-RELATED EDUCATION CONFERENCES FOR 

TEACHERS; A SPEAKERS BUREAU AND A VIDEO 

LOAN LIBRARY; AS WELL AS OTHER ACTIVITIES. 

Committed to violence prevention, the Foundation also 

offers conflict resolution and peer mediation training 

sessions where participants receive the 

Foundation’s “Conflict Resolution and Peer 

Mediation Guides” containing lesson plans 

that teachers can take back to their classrooms. 

Another component of the 

Foundation’s violence prevention initiative 

is its Teasing and Bullying program 

where teachers and administrators are 

educated about the myths and facts of bullying 

and developing a school-wide 

approach to combat the problem. 

To further promote understanding of the 

law, the Foundation launched its legal newspaper 

for kids, The Legal Eagle, in the fall of 1996. Subscriptions 

have increased tremendously over the years and the 

newspaper is now distributed to nearly 340,000 elementary, 

middle and high school students in more than 2,700 

schools across the state. Published three times a year, the 

newspaper is a resource for students and teachers that 

stimulates discussion about the law and how it impacts 

daily life. 

Launched in the fall of 2001 and also published three 

times a year is the Foundation’s tolerance newsletter, 

titled, Respect. Distributed to nearly 280,000 middle and 

high school students in more than 1,500 schools, Respect 

has tackled such controversial topics as re-segregation, 

genocide, gay marriage, English-only laws, banning the 

Confederate flag and discrimination against the disabled. 

In a further effort to combat intolerance, the 

Foundation entered into a partnership with the George 

Street Playhouse Touring Theatre Tolerance Initiative to 

bring plays that address issues of school violence tolerance, 

prejudice, peer pressure and cyber-bullying to 

schools in disadvantaged areas. 

The Foundation also provides a number of law-related 

publications either online or in hard copy, including 

Residential Construction and Renovation: A Legal Guide 

for New Jersey Homeowners, Domestic Violence: The Law 

and You, The Right to Special Education in New 

Jersey — A Guide for Advocates, Law Points for 

Senior Citizens, Consumer’s Guide to New 

Jersey Law, Disability Law Primer, Students’ 

Rights Handbook, Legal Consequences of 

Substance Abuse, What You Need to Know 

About Plagiarism, Starting and 

Succeeding with a New Business, A Basic 

Guide to Personal Bankruptcy and AIDS 

and the Law in New Jersey. Some of these 

publications are available in Spanish and 

all are available in alternative formats, 

including Braille and audiocassette, for the 

visually impaired. In addition to its publications, 

the Foundation has expanded its communications programming 

to include videotape presentations on child 

custody, juror orientation and domestic violence. 

Conferences for senior citizens, the disabled, teachers 

and drug counselors have also helped thousands in New 

Jersey to better understand the law. 

The Foundation’s public service programs are funded 

by the IOLTA Fund of the Bar of New Jersey and are 

all offered free of charge. For copies of materials or for 

more information on any program or the Foundation 

in general, please visit our website at www.njsbf.org or 

call 1-800 FREE LAW.

majority of the votes cast, shall have general 

power to govern and manage the affairs and 

property of the Foundation, and shall have full 

power to adopt rules and regulations governing 

the action of the Board of Trustees and shall have 

full authority with respect to the distribution and 

payment of the moneys received by the 

Foundation from time to time; provided, however, 

that the fundamental and basic purposes of 

the Foundation, as expressed in the Certificate of 

Incorporation, shall not thereby be amended or 

changed; and provided further, that the Board of 

Trustees shall not permit any part of the net 

earnings or capital of the Foundation to inure to 

the benefit of any private individual. 

2. Number and Term of Office. The number of 

Trustees shall be not less than nine nor more 

than twenty-three. The term of office shall be 

one calendar year, and the Trustees shall be

term as Trustee. Each Trustee shall continue in 

office until a successor is designated and qualified, 

or until the death, resignation or removal of 

any Trustee. No Trustee shall hold office for more

Jersey State Bar Association. 

3. Selection and Qualification. The President,

Association in office as of the close of business of its

Foundation. In addition, the Board of Trustees of 

the New Jersey State Bar Association may designate 

up to five additional Trustees of the Foundation. 

The Board of Trustees of the Foundation shall designate 

sufficient additional persons to serve as 

Trustees of the Foundation to fill the number of 

Trustee positions as set by the resolution of the 

Board of Trustees of the Foundation. Up to four 

Trustees need not be attorneys at law admitted to 

practice before the courts of the State of New Jersey. 

No person may be designated as a Trustee which 

would cause fifty (50%) percent or more of the 

Trustees then holding office to be “disqualified persons” 

within the meaning of that term as set out in 

Sections 590(a)(3)(C) and 4946 of the Internal 

Revenue Code of 1954, as they now exist or as they 

may be amended. 

4. Removal. Any Trustee may be removed, with or 

without cause, by a vote of a majority of the 

Trustees then in office. 

5. Vacancies. Any vacancy in the Board of Trustees 

occurring during the year may be filled for the 

unexpired portion of the term by the Trustees 

then serving, although less than a quorum, by 

affirmative vote of the majority of Trustees then 

in office. Any Trustee so designated shall hold 

office until the designation and qualification of 

his successor at the next succeeding annual 

meeting of the Trustees of the Foundation. 

6. Regular Meetings; Notice. Regular meetings of 

the Board of Trustees shall be held at such time 

and place as the Board of Trustees shall designate. 

7. Special Meetings; Notice. Special meetings of 

the Board of Trustees may be held upon the call 

of the President of the Board, the First Vice 

President or of any three Trustees at such place 

as may be designated in the notice of such meeting. 

Notice of the time, place and purpose of any 

special meeting of the Board of Trustees shall be 

given by the Secretary by mailing a copy thereof 

or delivering the same to each Trustee at least 

two days before such meeting. 

8. Quorum; Adjournments of Meetings. At all 

meetings of the Board of Trustees, a majority of 

the Trustees then in office shall constitute a quorum 

for the transaction of business. In the 

absence of a quorum, a majority of the Trustees 

present may, without giving notice other than by 

announcement at the meeting, adjourn the 

meeting from time to time until a quorum is 

obtained. At such adjourned meeting at which a 

quorum is present, any business may be transacted 

which might have been transacted at the 

meeting as originally called. 

9. Meeting and Voting Electronically. 

(a) At the discretion of the Executive Director, individual 

members of the Board of Trustees may 

participate and vote without physically attending 

in person a meeting of the Board of Trustees, 

by means of a telephone conference call or any 

other means of communication by which all 

trustees participating are able to hear and otherwise 

communicate effectively with each other. 

Votes may occur either at physical meetings, via 

conference call or through electronic vote or 

such other state of the art means as consistent 

with this bylaw. All voting shall be initiated by a 

motion proposed by one member of the Board of 

Trustees and seconded by another. 

b) At the discretion of the Executive Director, and 

unless objected to by a member of the Board of 

Directors, the Board of Trustees may act upon 

electronically transmitted requests for action 

which cannot abide delay to the next regularly 

scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors and 

which are of such a nature that it is not deemed 

necessary or economical to call for a special 

meeting of the Board of Trustees at which all 

members are directed to physically appear. 

However, in the event any Board member objects 

to this procedure, then the Executive Director 

shall call for a meeting of the Board, at which 

time the procedure of Paragraph 9(a) shall be followed. 

10. Organization. The President of the Board shall 

preside at all meetings of the Board of Trustees; 

in the absence of the President, the First Vice 

President shall preside or in the absence of both, 

the Board of Trustees may select a person to preside 

at the meeting from among its members. 

The Secretary of the Foundation or his/her delegate 

shall act as Secretary at all meetings of the 

Board of Trustees. In absence of the Secretary or 

his/her delegate, or with the Secretary’s consent, 

the presiding officer may appoint any other person 

to act as Secretary of the meeting. 

11. Resignation. Any Trustee may resign at any time 

by giving written notice to the President of the 

Board. Such resignation shall take effect at any 

time specified therein and, unless otherwise 

specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation 

shall not be necessary to make it effective. 

12. Powers. All the corporate powers, except as are 

otherwise provided for in these Bylaws and in the 

laws of the State of New Jersey, shall be and are 

hereby vested in and shall be exercised by the 

Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees may by 

general resolution delegate to committees, or to 

officers of the Foundation, such powers as they 

may see fit and as provided in Articles VI through 

IX of these Bylaws. 

ARTICLE IV 

Annual Meeting 

1. Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting of the 

Foundation shall be held in June each year at a 

time and place designated by the Officers for 

such Annual Meeting. 

2. Committee on Nominations. At least three 

months prior to the Annual Meeting of the 

Foundation in each year, the President of the 

Board of Trustees shall appoint a Nominating 

Committee which shall include Trustees and 

non-Trustees of the Foundation. The Immediate 

Past President shall serve as the chair of the 

Nominating Committee. The duty of the 


Nominating Committee shall be to nominate 

candidates for Trustees (other than the 

Immediate Past President and those holding that 

position because of their position with the New 

Jersey State Bar Association or as designated by 

the Association’s Board of Trustees) and officers 

to be designated at the Annual Meeting. The 

Nominating Committee shall notify the Board of 

Trustees of the names of such candidates in writing, 

at a Board meeting that precedes the Annual 

Meeting of the Foundation. 

ARTICLE V 

Officers 

1. Number. The officers of the Foundation shall be 

the President, First Vice President, Second Vice 

President, Secretary, Treasurer, and such other 

officers with such powers and duties not inconsistent 

with these Bylaws as may be appointed 

and determined by the Board of Trustees. Two 

offices may be held by the same person. 

2. Selection, Term of Office, and Removal. The officers 

shall be selected by the Board of Trustees at 

a Board meeting that precedes the Annual 

Meeting of the Foundation from among the 

Trustees of the Foundation, provided, however, 

that during the first year of operation under 

these Bylaws, the Immediate Past President of 

the New Jersey State Bar Association in office as 

of the date of adoption of these Bylaws shall 

serve as Chairman of the Board. Officers shall 

take office and be installed at the conclusion of 

the Annual Meeting of the Foundation. Any officer 

may be removed, with or without cause, by a 

majority vote of the Board of Trustees then in 

office. Officers shall hold office for one year and 

may not hold any one office for more than two 

consecutive years. 

3. Vacancies. In case any office of the Foundation 

becomes vacant by death, resignation, retirement, 

disqualification, or any other cause, the majority 

of the Trustees then in office, even if less than a

ARTICLE XIV 

Indemnification of Officers, Trustees and Agents 

1. Agents by Others. The Foundation shall indemnify 

any person who was or is a party or is threatened 

to be made a party to any threatened, pending 

or completed action, suit or proceeding, 

whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative 

(other than an action by or in the right of 

the Foundation) by reason of the fact that he/she 

is or was a Trustee, officer or agent of the 

Foundation. Indemnity by the Foundation shall 

include expenses, costs, disbursements (including 

attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and 

amounts actually and reasonably incurred by 

him/her in good faith and in connection with 

such action, suit or proceeding provided such 

person acted in a manner he/she generally 

believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests 

of the Foundation, and with respect to any 

criminal action or proceeding, he/she had no 

reasonable cause to believe that his/her conduct 

was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit 

or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, 

conviction, or upon plea of nolo contendere or its 

equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption 

that the person did not meet the applicable 

standard of conduct. 

2. Actions by or in the Right of the Foundation. The 

Foundation shall indemnify any person who was 

or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to 

any threatened, pending or completed action or 

suit by or in the right of the Foundation to procure 

a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that 

he/she is or was a Trustee, officer or agent of the 

Foundation against expenses (including attorneys’ 

fees), actually and reasonably incurred by him/her 

in connection with the defense or settlement of 

such action or suit provided that such person 

acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably 

believed to be in or not opposed to the 

best interests of the Foundation, and further provided 

that no indemnification shall be made in 

respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which 

such person shall have been adjudged to be liable 

for negligence or misconduct in the performance 

of his duty to the Foundation, unless and only to 

the extent that the New Jersey Superior Court or 

the court in which such action or suit was brought 

shall determine upon application that, despite the 

adjudication or liability, in view of all the circumstances 

of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably 

entitled to indemnify for such expenses 

which the New Jersey Superior Court or such other 

court shall deem proper. 

3. Successful Defense. To the extent that a person 

who is or was a Trustee, officer or agent of the 

Foundation has been successful on the merits or 

otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding 

referred to in Paragraph 1 or Paragraph 2 

of this Article XIV, or in defense of any claim, issue, 

or matter therein, he/she shall be indemnified 

against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually 

and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection 

with such defense. 

4. Specific Authorization. Any indemnification 

under Paragraph 1, or Paragraph 2 of this Article 

XIV (unless ordered by a court), shall be made by 

the Foundation only as authorized in the specific 

case upon a determination that indemnification 

of the Trustee, officer, or agent is proper in the 

circumstances because he/she has met the 

applicable standard of conduct set forth in 

Paragraph 1 and 2. Such determination shall be 

made (a) by the Board of Trustees by a majority 

vote of a quorum consisting of Trustees who were 

not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or 

(b) if such a quorum is not obtainable or if a quorum 

of disinterested Trustees so directs, by independent 

legal counsel in a written opinion. 

5. Advance of Expenses. Expenses incurred by any 

person who may have a right of indemnification 

under this Article XIV in defending a civil or criminal 

action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the 

Foundation in advance of the final distribution of 

such action, suit or proceeding as authorized in 

the specific case, in the same manner as a determination 

that indemnification is proper under 

Paragraph 4 of this Article upon receipt of an 

undertaking by or on behalf of the Trustee, officer 

or agent to repay such amount if it is ultimately 

determined that he/she is not entitled to be 

indemnified by the Foundation pursuant to this 

Article XIV. 

6. Right of Indemnity not Exclusive. The indemnification 

provided by this Article XIV shall not 

exclude any other rights to which those seeking 

indemnification may otherwise be entitled. The 

indemnification rights provided under this 

Article XIV shall continue as to a person who has 

ceased to be a Trustee, officer, or agent and shall 

inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and 

administrators of such a person. 

7. Insurance. The Foundation may purchase and 

maintain insurance on behalf of any person who 

is or was a Trustee, officer, or agent of the 

Foundation against any liability asserted against 

him/her and incurred by him/her in any such 

capacity, whether or not the Foundation would 

have the power to indemnify him/her against 

such liability under the Provisions of this Article 

XIV or otherwise. 

8. Invalidity of any Provision of this Article. The 

invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of 

this Article XIV shall not affect the validity or 

enforceability of the remaining provisions of this 

Article XIV. 

ARTICLE XV 

Amendments and Consideration 

The Board of Trustees shall have power to make, alter, 

amend, and repeal the Bylaws of the Foundation by 

affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees 

then in office, provided that the action is proposed at a 

regular or special meeting of the Board, except as otherwise 

provided by law. Any question involving the 

interpretation of these Bylaws shall be determined by 

the Board of Trustees after, as the Board deems 

appropriate, consultation with counsel for the 

Foundation, and if such question arises in the course 

of any meeting, by the President of the Board of the 

Foundation. Determinations by the President of the 

Board shall be effective only for the purpose of the 

meeting.
