McCarter Partner David Kott has been appointed by the New Jersey Supreme Court to the serve on the newly created Supreme Court Special Committee on the Duration of Disbarment for Knowing Misappropriation. The 28-member committee is tasked with studying potential disbarment reforms in the state following the Court’s announcement earlier this month that it would consider a “second chance” ethics rule that could allow New Jersey lawyers who take money from clients to practice again. The committee consists of members from the private bar, higher education, the clergy and advocacy groups.
