In Re Breslin

Supreme Court of New Jersey

Decided March 28, 2002Published

1DissentLaVECCHIA, J.

This case requires the Court to consider whether respondent, James A. Breslin, Jr., having been found beyond a reasonable doubt to have engaged in conduct warranting his removal from the bench, should continue nonetheless to be a member of the bar. Because I find the majority’s view of the facts of this case to place too much of a strain upon credibility, and because I believe that *294the majority’s disposition will jeopardize the public’s trust in the integrity of the members of the legal profession, I respectfully dissent. I would disbar respondent.
