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.
