Jeff Jacobson Discusses Launch of New Jersey Litigation Center

Litigation partner Jeff Jacobson was quoted in Insider NJ’s coverage of the launch of the New Jersey Litigation Center (NJLC), a new nonprofit established by the New Jersey Civil Justice Institute (NJCJI) and the New Jersey Business and Industry Association (NJBIA) to represent the state’s business community in legal actions involving laws and regulations. Jacobson, who serves on the NJLC board, said he is “honored to help assemble some of the state’s best appellate advocates” to draft briefs and appear as friends of New Jersey’s courts.

Jacobson, a former Chief Counsel to the New Jersey Attorney General, helped launch the NJLC, which merges the New Jersey Supreme Court amicus efforts of NJCJI and NJBIA, so the two largest business associations in New Jersey will now speak with one voice to the court. Jacobson will serve on the NJLC’s advisory committee, which will decide which cases to take and how to argue them.

The NJLC is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization expected to work on behalf of the business community and the public in the areas of free enterprise, regulatory certainty, unlawful taxation, constitutional rights, separation of powers, and government transparency.
