How do I resign without prejudice from the New Jersey Bar?
First, please review Court Rule 1:20-22. In particular, note that you cannot resign if any disciplinary proceeding is pending in any jurisdiction to which you are admitted. If you qualify, and if you comply with the notice requirements set forth in the form, you may complete the original form of Resignation Without Prejudice (pdf) and mail it to: Resignation Without Prejudice Unit Office of Attorney Ethics P.O. Box 963 Trenton, NJ 08625 If your resignation is accepted by the Supreme Court, it will terminate your membership in the bar. To be readmitted, you will have to retake the New Jersey Bar Examination.
