As we move through February, there may still be snow on the ground, but spring is just around the corner — and that means Boardwalk Seminar® 2026 is fast approaching.

Registration is now open. This year’s program will take place Wednesday – Friday, April 29 – May 1 at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City and will feature 29 programs and over 220 exhibitors designed to offer plaintiff trial attorneys an unparalleled opportunity to deepen their skills and obtain nearly two years' worth of MCLE credits. 

Boardwalk Seminar® 2026 is also the setting for another important annual event in NJAJ's calendar - the election of NJAJ’s 2026–2027 officers, which will take place at 9:00 am on Thursday, April 30.

The deadline to submit a nomination for yourself or another member in good standing is this Friday, February 27. The self‑nomination form is available here, and nominations may also be submitted by email to info@nj-justice.org.

Also on the horizon, this Thursday, we will gather for the NJAJ 2026 Awards Dinner to honor this year’s award recipients and to recognize the past year's NJAJ Amicus Advocates who have volunteered their time, skill, and judgment to prepare amicus briefs on behalf of NJAJ.

Their advocacy strengthens the rule of law and protects access to justice for all New Jerseyans. If you have a case you would like the committee to consider, please submit it through the website.

The Women Trial Lawyers Caucus continues its outstanding work this year and will host two virtual WTLC Roundtables, the first on March 4 from 4:00–5:00 pm, and the next on June 3. These sessions are free to Regular Members and offer a valuable opportunity to discuss your cases and receive insight from colleagues. 

Finally, I am pleased to share that NJAJ’s 2nd Annual Family Day will take place on Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm at Roosevelt Park in Edison. This is a wonderful opportunity to bring our community together outside the courtroom and classroom, and I hope to see many of you there.

Thank you for your continued commitment to NJAJ and to the clients and communities we serve. I look forward to seeing you in the weeks ahead — at the Awards Dinner, at our upcoming programs, and, of course, at Boardwalk Seminar® 2026.
