Norberto A. Garcia will take the oath this week to serve as president of the New Jersey State Bar Association for the 2026-2027 term, according to a May 12 announcement.
Garcia’s appointment is notable because he will be the first foreign-born president in the association’s 126-year history. This marks a significant milestone for both Garcia and the organization.
The association said that Garcia’s life, career, and journey have been influential in his path to leadership within NJSBA. His upcoming term is expected to highlight his commitment and contributions over many years of service.
No additional background information or specific plans for his presidency were provided in the announcement.
Garcia is set to officially begin his role after taking the oath later this week.
