| Q. What is a certified matrimonial law attorney? |
| A. Certified matrimonial law attorney is a designation granted by the New Jersey Supreme Court to
attorneys who are able to demonstrate sufficient levels of experience, education, knowledge, and skills in matrimonial
law practice. The Supreme Court, through its Board on Attorney Certification, designates only those lawyers who
apply for certification and who are able to meet the standards set by the Board and approved by the Court. |
| |
| Q. What does it mean when an attorney is certified? |
A. A certified attorney is more than just an attorney who specializes in a particular area of law.
A New Jersey attorney who is certified by the Supreme Court as a matrimonial law attorney must have:
- been a member in good standing of the New Jersey bar for over 5 years
- fulfilled ongoing continuing legal education requirements
- demonstrated a substantial level of experience in matrimonial law
- been favorably evaluated by other attorneys and judges familiar with his or her work
- taken and passed a written examination in matrimonial law |
| |
| Q. Why does New Jersey have a certification program? |
| A. The Certification program helps public find attorneys who have demonstrated proficiency in specialized
fields of law. Certification helps lawyers by giving them a way to make their experience known to the public and
to other lawyers. Certification also encourages the maintenance and improvement of attorney competence in specialized
fields of law. |
| |
| Q. In what areas of law does the New Jersey Supreme Court
certify attorneys? |
| A. At present, there are four specialty areas of practice that are approved for certification by the
Supreme Court of New Jersey: civil trial law; criminal trial law; matrimonial law; and workers' compensation law. |
| |
| Q. How many attorneys are currently certified in New Jersey? |
| A. As of June 2007, there are 1,550 attorneys who hold Board certification in New Jersey. Of these,
there are 120 Certified Matrimonial Law Attorneys (other areas include civil, criminal, and workers compensation) |
| |
| Q. How does the consumer know if an attorney is Board certified? |
| A. Although many practicing matrimonial law attorneys now advertise in newspapers, on television,
and in the Yellow Pages, only attorneys certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court are entitled to use the designation
"Certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Matrimonial Law Attorney" on their letterhead, business
cards, Yellow Pages listings, or in their advertisements. |
| |
| Q. What if I have more questions or need to find out more
about certification? |
|
A. Anyone in need of more information regarding the certification program should address his or her
questions to:
