New Jersey Civil Justice Institute urges court to accept routine contract formation practices

The New Jersey Civil Justice Institute (NJCJI) submitted an amicus brief to the New Jersey Supreme Court in February 2025. The organization asked the court to acknowledge that businesses should be able to demonstrate contract formation through standard practices, such as emailing terms, even if they do not have precise records of when those emails were delivered.

NJCJI stated that this method is consistent with federal precedent and helps support fairness and efficiency in legal proceedings. The case highlights NJCJI’s ongoing efforts to maintain a civil justice system in New Jersey that is predictable, balanced, and supportive of business interests.

"NJCJI argued that this approach aligns with federal precedent and promotes fairness and efficiency in litigation. The case reflects NJCJI’s broader mission to ensure New Jersey’s civil justice system remains predictable, balanced, and business-friendly."
