New Jersey Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection
Overview
The Fund, an entity of the Supreme Court of New Jersey, exists under the authority of Rule 1:28. It was established to reimburse clients who have suffered a loss due to dishonest conduct of a member of the New Jersey Bar. The Fund was created as a Committee of the New Jersey State Bar Association in 1961. At the request of the Bar, the Fund took its present form in 1969 and has served as a national leader. Formerly known as the Clients' Security Fund of the Bar of New Jersey, the Fund's nature and purpose were not affected by the 1991 name change.
