About Trial Attorneys of New Jersey

President's Message, The Trial Attorneys of New Jersey (“TANJ”) is a statewide attorney organization with a mission of promoting the litigation interests of the public, the bench, and the bar. TANJ members include trial attorneys who litigate in the state and federal courts of the State of New Jersey, as well as former members of the judiciary. Our trial attorneys have diverse practice areas, including public sector, plaintiff, and defense attorneys from the civil and criminal bars. We share a passion for courtroom advocacy. We share a drive to hone our litigation skills. We share an understanding about the rigorous demands of trial work. We know that when the attorneys – on both sides of the case – are skilled, prepared, and ethical, then our clients and the judicial system benefit. To strengthen our shared values, TANJ presents trial skills training programs for young attorneys, attorneys preparing for certification exams, and seasoned attorneys. TANJ nurtures the relationship among trial attorneys through networking events. TANJ files amicus briefs and position statements regarding rules impacting litigation, appeals, and the attorney-client relationship. TANJ has been actively fortifying these shared values for nearly 60 years. As a testament to our shared values, TANJ has been recognizing a small number of attorneys who demonstrate trial excellence by awarding the Trial Bar Awards since 1968. These elite attorneys also teach and mentor the next generation of New Jersey trial attorneys through TANJ’s programming. We want your help to continue TANJ’s mission. Your membership matters. We welcome you to join TANJ. Regards, Sheila Raftery Wiggins President
