The title of that program is: “League Tandem Session with the Association of Municipal Assessors of New Jersey and the New Jersey Institute of Local Government Attorneys: Tax Appeals – Trials and Tribulations.” The League program is described as: “Being ‘Trial-Ready’ is a crucial strength in the appeal process as, unfortunately, not all cases are resolved through ‘negotiation’.
