Former NJ Supreme Court Justice Speaking In Morristown Friday

FLORHAM PARK, NJ — Former New Jersey Supreme Court Justice Jaynee LaVecchia is the keynote speaker for the Morris County Chamber of Commerce event on Friday in Morristown.

A luncheon held by the Women in Business Program of the Morris County Chamber of Commerce will host LaVecchia's talk titled, "A Lifetime in the Law — Insights from New Jersey's Longest-Serving Female Justice." The event is at the Westin Governor Morris Hotel in Morristown, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Friday.

LaVecchia, currently a partner at the law firm McCarter & English, served as a New Jersey Supreme Court justice for 21 years and remains the longest-serving female justice in court history.
