Rule 2:2-3

Rule 2:2-3 of the New Jersey Court Rules states that an attorney must notify the court if they are aware of any case in which they are involved or have a personal interest that could affect their objectivity. This ensures transparency and helps prevent conflicts of interest, maintaining the integrity of the legal process. Essentially, attorneys need to promptly inform the court of any situations that might compromise their impartiality or impartial perception, allowing the court to address potential conflicts before they impact legal proceedings.
