What Is a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney?
When a lawyer receives the designation of Certified Criminal Trial Attorney, it means that they have demonstrated certain levels of experience, education, knowledge, and skill when it comes to criminal trial practice in the State of New Jersey. Before the NJ Supreme Court chooses an attorney for this honor, the court must ensure that the attorney meets very specific requirements:
- The attorney has been a member of the NJ Bar Association, and maintained good standing, for more than five years.
- The attorney has attended Continuing Legal Education (CLE) programs while practicing law in New Jersey.
- The attorney has proven experience as a criminal trial lawyer who prepares legal matters for litigation and handles cases in the courtroom.
- The attorney's peers in the legal community, including other lawyers and judges, have expressed their support through favorable evaluations of the attorney's character and ability.
- The attorney passed a rigorous written examination on important areas of criminal trial law.
The certification process for becoming a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney is the only official vetting process for NJ attorneys. You may come across lawyers who boast about their credentials and case results; however, unless that lawyer can say that they are Certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as a Criminal Trial Attorney, they have not been recognized as an expert when it comes to criminal trial practice in New Jersey.
