June 28, 198393 N.J. 470

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey approved the Final Consent Judgment that permits licensed real estate brokers to prepare certain residential sale and lease contracts subject to mandatory attorney review language, finding the settlement protects the public interest and does not impermissibly encroach on the practice of law. Justice Schreiber dissented, arguing the settlement inadequately safeguards the public.
