A pleading may be amended without obtaining court permission at any time before
the opposing party responds to the original pleading. Thereafter, pleadings may be
amended with the written consent of the adversary or with the court’s permission. Such
written consent may include a consent order, a letter from both attorneys, or a letter from
one attorney representing that all parties consent and copying all counsel and pro se
parties. Permission to amend and/or supplement is obtained by filing a motion, which
must have attached to it a copy of the proposed amended pleading. All amended or
supplemental pleadings require responses from the adversaries in the litigation. See R.
4:9.
