What An HONOR!

Last night, as part of our Judicial Outreach Committee’s Tales From the Bench series, NJWLA’s Board was delighted to have retired Justice Jaynee LaVecchia join us for an informal dinner and candid conversation, led by Hon. Harriet F. Klein. NJWLA thanks retired Justice Jaynee LaVecchia for her words of wisdom and engaging and inspirational personal stories and Bressler Amery & Ross for generously hosting the event. This was NJWLA’s Judicial Outreach Committee’s 12th incredible installation of its Tales From the Bench series which was started in 2014 and continues to raise the bar by offering opportunities to hear from some of the most respected jurists in our state. Prior New Jersey Supreme Court guests of honor have included Justice Anne Patterson, former Chief Justice Deborah Poritz, retired Justice Virginia Long and retired Justice Helen Hoens, as well as The Honorable Patty Shwartz, U.S. Circuit Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
