In many cases, a trial court decision is not the end of litigation – it is just the beginning. In New Jersey, after a trial court judge renders a decision, either party has a right to file an appeal with the Appellate Division of New Jersey. Thereafter, on occasion, the seven Justices of our New Jersey Supreme Court may, either by choice or by constitutional mandate, review all or some of the issues presented to the Appellate Division.
The Firm’s Appellate Practice Group is currently chaired by Partner, Bonnie C. Frost, Esq., with the assistance of her co-chair, Partner, Matheu D. Nunn, Esq. The duo of Frost and Nunn regularly handle emergent and non-emergent matters before the Appellate Division and Supreme Court. Their efforts across a wide-range of subject matters have resulted in a number of recent precedent-setting decisions, including the landmark child relocation case of Bisbing v. Bisbing; a case of first-impression regarding cohabitation and termination of alimony in Quinn v. Quinn; a contested adoption case of first impression in In re Adoption of a Child by J.E.V.; and a case of first-impression involving a special needs person in J.B. v. W.B. Overall, the Firm’s Appellate Practice Group has prevailed in 19 cases that its attorneys initiated or handled before the New Jersey Supreme Court, including the noteworthy “firefighters’ rule” decision of Ruiz v. Mero and the Supreme Court’s decision in State v. Dispoto.
The members of the Appellate Practice Group also: serve as co-counsel on appeals with other lawyers; are active in writing and/or arguing in amicus efforts for both the New Jersey State Bar Association and the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers; and regularly lecture with Justices, judges, and practitioners regarding appellate and Supreme Court practice.
