Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Paul Kavanaugh, Vincent Kearney, Jr., Harold Matzner and Dorothe…

May 29, 196852 N.J. 7

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed the order revoking F. Lee Bailey's pro hac vice admission in murder prosecutions, finding his public letter intended for the press violated a trial‑court order and threatened a fair trial. The Court also rejected the defendants' claim of a constitutional right to select an out‑of‑state attorney, holding that the State may regulate admission to its bar.
