About James M.
James M. Curran has built a long career in courtroom practice. He trained in communications at Rutgers University, earning a B.A. in 1981, then turned to law at New York Law School, where he received his J.D. in 1984. Those early years set the pattern: careful preparation and steady courtroom work.
He entered practice in New Jersey and has maintained a steady presence there for decades. He was admitted to the New Jersey bar in 1985 and holds admission to multiple forums, including the New York bar, the U.S. District Courts for the Southern District of New York and the District of New Jersey, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, the U.S. Tax Court, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court. That range of admissions reflects a practice that has extended beyond a single courthouse.
Curran’s professional credentials include certification from the National Board of Trial Advocacy in Civil Trial Advocacy and a Certified Civil Trial Lawyer designation from the New Jersey Supreme Court. Those qualifications signal long experience at trial. He has been active in local and national bar groups for many years. Membership lists include the State Bar of New Jersey, the New Jersey Bar Association, the Middlesex County Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association, the American Bar Association, the Federal Bar Association of New Jersey, the American Association for Justice, the New Jersey Association for Justice, the Middlesex County Trial Lawyers Association, the Association of Trial Lawyers of New Jersey, the National Board of Legal Specialty Certification, and the American Arbitration Association.
His professional life centers on litigation. He handles civil cases that reach both state and federal benches, trying matters before juries and arguing appeals when necessary. The certifications speak to trial work, and his court admissions give him access to federal and appellate dockets. He has structured a solo practice that allows direct client contact and courtroom continuity from complaint through verdict or settlement.
Curran leads the Law Offices of James M. Curran, where he continues to accept courtroom assignments and represent clients in civil litigation. He maintains active bar memberships and stays engaged in trial-focused professional organizations. He currently practices civil trial law in New Jersey and in the federal courts where he is admitted.
