Courses in NJ Legal Practice Subjects That Satisfy Requirements for New Attorneys Are Offered at Rutgers Law School–Newark
NEWARK, NJ – Newly-admitted attorneys in New Jersey can now satisfy the State Bar’s Bridge the Gap requirements through courses offered by the Rutgers Institute for Professional Education at Rutgers School of Law–Newark. The courses are taught by Law School faculty and practitioners with years of experience in their subject area.
Upon admittance to the New Jersey Bar, attorneys must complete 15 credit hours within their first compliance period in any five of the following nine subject areas: NJ basic estate administration, NJ basic estate planning, NJ civil or criminal trial preparation, NJ family law practice, NJ real estate closing procedures, NJ trust and business accounting, NJ landlord/tenant practice, NJ municipal court practice, and NJ law office management.
Taking all of the courses below will satisfy the entire 15-credit requirement; each of the courses qualifies for partial satisfaction of the requirement. Attorneys who are seeking both New Jersey and Pennsylvania Bridge the Gap credit can satisfy the requirements of both states by taking the five courses. Also, December 2010 law school graduates who are planning to take the February Bar exam can fulfill their Bridge the Gap requirements by taking these courses before they are admitted.
Pre-registration is required. For full program and registration details, visit http://law.newark.rutgers.edu/IPE.
