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.

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.
