Before Judges CUFF, HOENS and KING.

The opinion of the court was delivered by

KING, P.J.A.D. (Retired and temporarily assigned on recall).

We conclude that the Law Division judge's decision exceeded the scope of this absolute privilege in absolving an attorney and her client from liability to a newspaper reporter. We affirm in part, reverse in part and remand for further proceedings.
