Bill Summary
This bill removes the statutory prohibition on retired judges from engaging in the practice of law before State courts while receiving a pension or retirement allowance from the Judicial Retirement System.
AI Summary
This bill removes a restriction that previously prevented retired judges from practicing law in New Jersey state courts while they are still receiving their pension or retirement allowance from the Judicial Retirement System, which is the system that provides financial benefits to retired judges. Essentially, this means that judges who have retired and are collecting their retirement pay can now also work as practicing attorneys.
