The New Jersey Law Journal published "Litigators Face New Challenges Under Revised Open Records Law," explaining that some New Jersey litigators will need to adjust their methods in light of Governor Murphy's decision to sign a measure modifying the state's Open Public Records Act (OPRA). Cohn Lifland's Walter Luers, who represents records requesters said, "I think that because OPRA remains a remedial statute, courts will still accept arguments that, even in the absence of bad faith on the part of a records custodian, counsel fees should be awarded to prevailing plaintiffs.” Luers is more concerned, however, about whether a law firm representing a records requester in OPRA litigation is considered a commercial requester under the new law. The legislators who drafted the law say it was needed because of the burden that commercial data companies create for records custodians. Requesters who give the wrong answer on whether they are commercial entities are subject to a $1,000 fine under the new law, Luers said. “Law firms are going to have to look very carefully as to whether or not requests that they file on behalf of a requester are commercial requests.” He adds, “I think that’s a gray area that’s probably going to have to be litigated.” #OPRA #openpublicrecordsact

🚨 Understanding Warrant vs. Summons Complaints in New Jersey 🚨 In this video, BLG partner Robert Bianchi, Esq. discusses the critical differences between a warrant and a summons complaint in New Jersey. Navigating the legal system can be daunting, especially when facing the complexities of criminal charges. One question that frequently arises is the difference between a warrant and a summons complaint. Bob breaks down these terms, explaining that a summons complaint, identifiable by an 'S' number, allows the accused to be free post-complaint issuance. On the other hand, a warrant complaint, marked with a 'W', signifies a more severe scenario where the accused is detained, photographed, and fingerprinted. This video is essential for anyone seeking clarity on these processes or facing such circumstances -> https://lnkd.in/ez4tP5sx Stay informed with regular legal updates from our team of former prosecutors at the Bianchi Law Group.
