What does it mean when an attorney is certified?
A certified attorney is more than just an attorney who specializes in a particular area of law. A New Jersey attorney who is certified by the Supreme Court as a criminal trial attorney must have:
- been a member in good standing of the New Jersey bar for over 5 years (Mr. Clark has been a member in good standing for 15 years);
- fulfilled ongoing continuing legal education requirements;
- demonstrated a substantial level of experience in criminal trial law;
- been favorably evaluated by other attorneys and judges familiar with his work; and
- taken and passed a written examination in criminal trial law.
Attorney Charles Clark is one of only 250 lawyers in the State certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as a criminal trial attorney. To put that number in perspective, there are over 70,000 lawyers in the State of New Jersey but only 250 certified criminal trial attorneys. Read more about certified criminal trial lawyers…
