New Jersey A5297 mandates that parties in arbitration hearings concerning claims for personal injury protection benefits must be represented by attorneys licensed in New Jersey, at their own expense. This requirement does not apply to pro se litigants, who represent themselves. The act will take effect 90 days after its enactment and applies to arbitration hearings initiated after that date.
