N.J. Bar Association backs judges, government lawyers in their bid to avoid health and pension benefit hikes
New Jersey’s judges and government-paid attorneys want to see the recently approved increase in the cost of health and pension benefits as it affects them repealed by the Legislature and the governor and the New Jersey State Bar Association on Thursday announced it plea has its support.
