Accreditation and CLE Rules for New Jersey

The National Academy of Continuing Legal Education is a New Jersey Accredited CLE Provider.

New Jersey attorneys are required to take 24 credit hours every 2 years including 5 credit hours of Ethics and Professionalism, with a minimum of 2 credits of Diversity, Inclusion, and Elimination of Bias.

New Jersey attorneys can earn all 24 CLE credit hours with us including 5 credit hours of Ethics and Professionalism with a minimum of 2 credit hours of Diversity, Inclusion, and Elimination of Bias using our DVDs, Audio CDs, USB Stick, Online, iOS/Android App, and Live Webinar courses.

*CLE Rule Update: The New Jersey CLE Board has revoked the Covid exception and reinstated the Live CLE requirement in NJ effective 1/1/2024. Additionally, NJ has amended the CLE Regulations with BCLE Reg. 103:1(n) and expanded the definition of Live Instruction. Our Live Interactive webinars meet this definition of Live CLE in NJ. Therefore all NJ attorneys can satisfy their entire requirement with our DVDs, Audio CDs, USB Stick, Online, iOS/Android App, and Live Webinar courses.

*CLE Rule Update: The New Jersey Supreme Court has amended Court Rule 1:42-1 to require attorneys to complete at least one CLE credit in technology-related subjects during each two-year reporting cycle. This requirement takes effect January 1, 2027 and will first apply to attorneys whose reporting cycle ends December 31, 2027 (reported in 2028), and all cycles thereafter. Attorneys in the current reporting cycle ending December 31, 2026 are not subject to this requirement.

Live Exemption: NJ rule 201:8(a) states that attorneys who reside in, work in, and are licensed in a mandatory CLE jurisdiction that does not require Live CLE are also exempt from Live CLE for NJ. These attorneys can take all 24 credits of their requirement with on-demand courses. See our NJ Non-Resident Bundles.

Each active New Jersey attorney is permanently assigned to one of two compliance groups for CLE purposes.

Group 1 is attorneys with birthdays in January through June and must complete their CLE by 12/31 every odd numbered year (12/31/2025, 12/31/2027, etc…)

Group 2 is attorneys with birthdays in July through December and must complete their CLE by 12/31 every even numbered year (12/31/2024, 12/31/2026, etc…)

Description

The author and lecturer, based upon over a half-century of litigation experience in the State and Federal Courts, will share his knowledge and experience on how to win cases without going to trial, while at the same time preparing you in case your case does have to go to trial.

The premise of this course is that the pre-trial discovery, pre-trial court conferences and motions, especially motions for summary judgment and to dismiss, in at least 90% of litigations culminates in either an out-of- court settlement or disposition of the case by motion practice.

The lecturer will draw upon his vast knowledge and experience to teach you the most effective ways to conduct pretrial discovery, such as taking and defending depositions, crafting document demands and responding to your adversaries’ demands, and all of the other discovery devices.

By obtaining key admissions from your adversaries, as well as admissible evidence from other means (such as non-party depositions, document demands), you will have what you need to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your case and your adversary’s case, in order to negotiate the best possible settlement for your client.

In appropriate cases, the same discovery that you used to evaluate your case and your adversary’s case, and prepare for trial, may also enable you to move for summary judgment or other summary disposition of your case (For example, if you are representing the defendant, to dismiss one or more causes of action in the complaint, or you are representing the plaintiff, one or more counter-claims in the answer).

The lecturer will also give you tips on how to increase your chances of success, when you do move for summary disposition of your case.

Finally, if your case becomes the one in ten cases that actually go to trial, the same pre-trial discovery that put you in the best position to negotiate a settlement or for summary disposition of your case, also gives you the “ammunition” to effectively try your case to conclusion and if necessary, have a record that will hold up on appeal.
