New Jersey Multijurisdictional Practice (MJP)

New Jersey Rules of Professional Conduct and Rule 8.5 address unauthorized and multijurisdictional practice. See the MJP hub for general background.

New Jersey Rule 5.5 generally tracks ABA Model Rule 5.5. Substantial in-state employer practice requires an Rule 1:27-2 limited license.

Temporary practice

Temporary services under Rule 5.5(c) may be permitted when requirements are met. Court appearances remain subject to pro hac vice.
