Founded in 1958, the New Jersey State Bar Foundation
[https://njsbf.org/] has been dedicated to carrying out the charitable
and educational endeavors of the organized bar, specifically the New
Jersey State Bar Association. In 1988, when it moved to its current
location at the New Jersey Law Center in New Brunswick, the Foundation
made a concentrated effort to expand its public education efforts.
Today, the Foundation stands as a model for law-related education
organizations across the country.
Believing that “informed citizens are better citizens,” the
Foundation strives to educate everyone in New Jersey—from students
to senior citizens—about their rights and responsibilities under the
law.
