NY C+F vs NJ C+F
Hello!
I was admitted to practice in New York in October.
I am thinking about starting the transfer process to get admitted in New Jersey sometime in the new year.
For people who are admitted in New York and New Jersey: which C+F process was worse? How strict is New Jersey from New York.
Even with a disclosure, I felt like I got my approval pretty quickly in New York (little over 2 months from submission to swearing-in)which kinda scares me. Will New Jersey see this as a bad thing?
Also, do they contact employers and references? For New York, we had to submit affirmations. I actually had to submit my own affirmation for one employer because they wouldn’t fill out the law related employment affirmation. I’m nervous that the NJ board won’t be able to get in touch with this employer and it would delay me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
