Volunteer Lawyers for Justice (VLJ) proudly announces that VLJ volunteer, Penelope Taylor, a partner at McCarter & English, LLP, has been named the recipient of the Essex County Bar Association’s 2026 Bernard A. Kuttner Pro Bono Service Award. This award honors attorneys, law firms, law schools, government attorney offices, corporate law departments, and other institutions in the legal profession that have enhanced the human dignity of others by improving or delivering volunteer legal services to the Essex County community.
Congratulations! PSEG Receives ECBA's 2017 Bernard Kuttner Award!
PSEG’s legal department approached VLJ about starting a pro bono program to address the legal needs of veterans in New Jersey, which led to the creation of VLJ’s Veterans Legal Program in 2014. Three years later, PSEG’s tireless attorneys and support staff have hosted 30 legal clinics and provided much-needed legal services to this underserved community. PSEG has demonstrated a long-lasting commitment to assisting NJ’s veterans and is most deserving of this honor!
