1. NEW JERSEY BRIDGE-THE-GAP
Satisfy the Mandatory 15 Credits and More
This program will provide essential information from a skilled faculty that
will guide you through the day-to-day practice of law. Topics in required
practice areas will include eight of the nine specified subject areas (basic
estate planning, law practice management, family, real estate closing,
municipal court practice, civil, criminal and landlord/tenant practice)
required of newly admitted New Jersey attorneys.
Special Bonus: This program will include one hour of ethics credit. The ethics segment will
explore the New Jersey Rules of Professional Ethics and address what “competence” under
RPC 1.1 means in the practice of law. The speakers will cover how to communicate and
share confidential information and use “Cloud” services to store confidential information
consistent with RPC 1.6. Attendees will learn how to understand what “supervision” means
when dealing with personnel within a firm and outside consultants under RPCs 5.1, 5.2, and
5.3, and recognize how social media might be used to advertise and communicate about
legal services under RPC 7.1, and the following sections.
New Jersey attorneys are advised to bring their bar number to the program.
Each Bridge-the-Gap program contains updated content and will provide CLE credit to all
