Supreme Court of New Jersey
In the Matter of Lennox S. Hinds, an Attorney at Law
August 4, 198290 N.J. 604
Summary
The Supreme Court of New Jersey upheld the constitutionality of the “reasonable likelihood” standard in disciplinary rule 7-107(D) for restricting extrajudicial speech by attorneys associated with criminal trials, defined the scope of “associated with” to include attorneys who regularly assist the defense, and dismissed the charges against Lennox Hinds because the factual record was insufficient and the rule was applied prospectively only.
