Gibbons P.C. is pleased to welcome back to the firm Michael R. Noveck as executive director of the John J. Gibbons Fellowship in Public Interest & Constitutional Law and a director in the White Collar & Investigations Group, resident in the Newark office.
Noveck has litigation experience in the areas of criminal justice, Megan’s Law registration, police accountability and education. As executive director, he will carry forward the Gibbons Fellowship’s 35-year legacy of pro bono representation involving cutting-edge cases implicating constitutional and individual rights and freedoms. Noveck will also represent clients in criminal and civil litigation and enforcement matters.
Noveck rejoins Gibbons from the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender, where he was a deputy public defender and managed and led the agency’s new civil rights practice within the special litigation unit. In that role, he litigated cases affecting clients throughout the criminal legal system on issues such as discovery, conditions of confinement, sex offender registration and expungement.
Just prior to this position, Noveck spent two years at Gibbons with the John J. Gibbons Fellowship in Public Interest & Constitutional Law, providing pro bono legal representation to nonprofit organizations and low-income individuals. His background also includes serving as a housing staff attorney at Northeast New Jersey Legal Services, advocating for clients in administrative proceedings, settlement negotiations, trials, and appeals.
