Course Overview
Since 1962, the Skills and Methods Course, a nationally renowned “bridge the gap” program, has helped prepare thousands of attorneys for the transition from either law school to practice, or practice in other states to practice in New Jersey. The Course consists of two components, each of which must be completed within certain time frames.
Core Component - First Year
The first component is a series of “core courses” which cover the basics of five subject areas most lawyers need to know. click for more information

Staying Informed
You will be notified by letter after you successfully complete each year of the Skills and Methods requirement. Again, attendance at core courses and continuing education courses is mandated by the New Jersey Supreme Court, and you must complete all components within the stated time frames to remain eligible to practice law in New Jersey. No waivers are granted based on prior experience in another jurisdiction or experience gained in a law school clinical program or clerkship.
