Federal Court Practice in the District of New Jersey
Brian Mc Van of Cherry Hill, NJ practices within the geographic jurisdiction of the District of New Jersey (DNJ), the United States district court that hears civil and criminal matters arising from Newark, NJ and the surrounding territory comprising the DNJ.
The principal courthouse for the DNJ is located at Martin Luther King Building & U.S. Courthouse, 50 Walnut Street, Newark, NJ 07102 (official court website). Filings in this district are subject to the district's local civil and criminal rules in addition to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.
Brian Mc Van's employment practice in the DNJ typically involves matters governed by the district's employment caseload, including pretrial motion practice, discovery scheduling under the district's standing orders, and trial proceedings before an Article III district judge or a magistrate judge by consent of the parties under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
Appellate Path: Third Circuit
Adverse rulings from federal trial courts in New Jersey are reviewable on direct appeal by the Third Circuit, sitting in Philadelphia, PA. Brian Mc Van's federal practice may include direct merits appeals under Fed. R. App. P. 4, petitions for panel rehearing or rehearing en banc under Fed. R. App. P. 35 and 40, and — in qualifying matters — petitions for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States under Sup. Ct. R. 10.
Federal appellate practice differs materially from state-court appellate practice: briefing length, standards of review (de novo, clear error, abuse of discretion, plain error), and oral-argument allotments are governed by the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and the Third Circuit's local circuit rules. Employment appeals from the DNJ are docketed at the Third Circuit and decided either after oral argument or on the briefs depending on the panel's screening determination.
What Employment Practice Looks Like in New Jersey
A employment matter in DNJ typically begins with a complaint, indictment, or petition that triggers strict deadlines under the applicable federal rules. Brian Mc Van guides clients through each procedural milestone — initial disclosures, scheduling conferences, dispositive motions, discovery cutoffs, and pretrial conference orders — that distinguish DNJ practice from analogous state-court litigation in New Jersey.
