⚖️ Can an employer use an attorney-led workplace investigation as a defense — while keeping the lawyer’s notes, drafts, and emails private? 🔒

A new published New Jersey Appellate Division decision says: not so fast. 🛑

In C.S. v. Brick Recycling Company, the court addressed a high-stakes discovery fight involving:
🔹 Attorney-client privilege
🔹 Work-product protection
🔹 Waiver
🔹 Draft investigation reports
🔹 Attorney notes and emails
🔹 Privilege logs
🔹 In camera review by the court

The takeaway is important for New Jersey businesses, employers, employees, and trial lawyers: the way an investigation is handled before trial can shape what evidence becomes available later. 🔍

🚨 New U.S. Supreme Court Decision Changes the Legal Landscape for NJ Transit Cases

On March 4, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a unanimous 9–0 decision in Galette v. New Jersey Transit Corp.—a ruling that could significantly impact both personal injury and business litigation involving NJ Transit.

The Court held that NJ Transit is not an “arm of the State of New Jersey,” meaning it cannot claim interstate sovereign immunity to avoid lawsuits in other states’ courts.

⚖️ Why this matters:

Injured individuals may now be able to pursue claims against NJ Transit in New York or Pennsylvania courts when incidents occur there.

Businesses and contractors involved in disputes with NJ Transit may have greater flexibility in choosing where to litigate.

The ruling may also affect how other state-created authorities defend lawsuits going forward.

Our team at Kemeny, Ramp & Renaud, LLC breaks down the decision and its implications for New Jersey personal injury litigation and New Jersey business litigation in our latest blog post.

🚨 NJ LEGAL ALERT 🚨

The New Jersey Appellate Division has released its decision in C.W. v. Roselle Board of Education, providing a significant clarification for the legal community and survivors of child sexual abuse. 📢📜

This case explores how the timing of a claim can dictate the outcome under the New Jersey Tort Claims Act (TCA). 🧐⚖️

The Core Facts: 🔹 The Conflict: A survivor sought damages for abuse occurring decades ago but faced the old $3,600 "medical expense" threshold required to claim pain and suffering against a public entity. 💸🚫 🔹 The Reform: In March 2025, the NJ Legislature took a historic step by eliminating this monetary threshold specifically for sexual abuse cases. 🎉🙌 🔹 The Decision: On January 15, 2026, the Court ruled that this amendment is NOT retroactive. This means the new protections generally do not apply to cases that were already dismissed or decided under the old rules. 🛑⚖️

For NJ attorneys and survivors, this decision is a stark reminder that while the law is moving toward greater accountability, statutory interpretation remains a complex hurdle. ⏳💡 We’ve provided a detailed breakdown of the ruling and what it means for the future of litigation on our blog. 🛡️💻
