Ansell Grimm & Aaron, PC congratulates shareholder Joshua S. Bauchner on his many achievements as co-chair of the New Jersey State Bar Association’s Cannabis Law Committee. Along with co-chair Lisa A. Gora, a partner at Epstein Becker & Green, Joshua led the Committee in making significant advancements, including:
- Hosting eight CLEs at the Law Center on a range of cannabis-related topics.
- Hosting three CLE panels at the State Bar Convention.
- Expanding the Committee to include psychedelics.
- Preparing two Reports and Recommendations to the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission on its initial Rules and Regulations.
The Committee also laid the groundwork for new initiatives in the 2023-2024 term, including promoting expungements of cannabis-related convictions and developing guidelines for Workplace Impairment Recognition Experts (WIREs).
We commend Joshua Bauchner and Lisa Gora, and all of their colleagues on the Committee, and thank them for their leadership and commitment to the practice of controlled substance and regulatory law. You can read their letter to the Committee here.
The New Jersey State Bar Association’s Cannabis Law Committee was formed to bring together attorneys to examine the many legal issues that stem from the medicinal and adult-use access to cannabis.
As one of the most rapidly evolving industries today, lawyers in the cannabis space must be educated on licensing, operations, and employment issues such as drug testing. Contact an attorney in our Controlled Substances and Regulatory Law Practice Group with any questions about this emerging area of law.
