1998Although we have recognized that “[t]he Wilson rule is harsh,” In re Barlow, 140 N.J. 191, 195 , 657 A.2d 1197 (1995), we remain “convinced that nothing less 'will be consistent with our view of the devastating effect of misappropriation on the public’s confidence in the bar and in this Court,” Roth, supra, 140 N.J. at 444, 658 A.2d 1264 (quoting In re Hahm, 120 N.J. 691, 697 , 577 A.2d 503 (1990)).

State v. Davisred

2 sentences

1990It is not sufficient to define the professional competence required in a capital-murder prosecution as one that is "reasonable" in terms of an average attorney or is measured by the "task to be accomplished." These definitions carry no intrinsic meaning or objective guidance. [ Id. at 402 , 561 A. 2d 1082 (Handler, J., dissenting).] The Court's confidence that the standard endorsed in Davis will achieve the levels of professional representation demanded in capital proceedings is ill-founded.
