Number: PRN 2010-106
Proposal
Description: The New Jersey Racing
Commission is proposing repeal of a rule
concerning representation by attorneys in
harness racing matters before the Racing
Commission or the Commission’s stewards,
because the current rule conflicts with
New Jersey Court Rule. The Racing Commission
rule at issue requires attorneys licensed
in New Jersey who wish to appear before
the Commission to apply for admission pro
hac vice if they do not maintain a bona
fide legal office in New Jersey. However,
New Jersey Court Rule R. 1:21-1 Who May
Practice; Appear in Court requires only
that attorneys licensed to practice in New
Jersey maintain a bona fide law office “in
any State, United States territory, Puerto
Rico or the District of Columbia.”
As a result, the Racing Commission rule
must be amended or repealed to achieve consistency
with the Court Rule. The Racing Commission
has elected to propose repeal of the rule.
