LAWYER WALKS INTO A BAR.(New Jersey Law Journal celebrates anniversary)
The New Jersey Law Journal, one of America's oldest legal newspapers, published its first issue in 1878, with the following boast: "But if our State is a small part of the nation, she has a judiciary known and honored abroad, and at her Bar are practising men whose legal acumen is not one whit behind that of leading lawyers in other States of the Union." A hundred and twenty-five years later, despite the concentration of high-powered firms across the Hudson, New Jersey still has some talented lawyers--or, rather, "multitalented lawyers," according to Robert Steinbaum, the Law Journal's publisher.

(Hyland was Goodman's lawyer, and an executor of his estate.) Or Cissy Rebich, who abandoned a career on Broadway ("Les Mis," "Mame") to become a Morris County prosecutor. Both Hyland and Rebich were among the attorney-stars who were assembled by Steinbaum to perform at the Journal's glitzy birthday revue, "A Celebration of Lawyers in the Arts," held the other day at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, in Newark.
"I confess, I am a New Jersey lawyer," Scott Sheldon, the show's director, and an antitrust specialist, said from the stage, addressing about five hundred dressed-up Honorables and Esquires. "And I'm proud of it. Now, just think, how many hundreds of lost unbillable hours are we burning tonight?" And so began an evening of lawyer jokes--or lawyers' jokes.
The former governor (and judge) Brendan Byrne, who may be better remembered in these parts for the sporting arena that no longer bears his name, delivered a brief introductory standup routine ("So as I was saying, I've been around a long time. I remember Preparation A"), and then it was showtime. Courting Disaster, a barbershop quartet led by the Honorable John W. Bissell, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for New ...
