- Newark Municipal Court
There are over 500 municipal courts in New Jersey, which is why municipal courts are the most common place – and often the only place- where New Jersey citizens encounter the court system. Municipal Court cases are also among the first cases that recently admitted attorneys are likely to handle.
This program will familiarize you with the practices and procedures of New Jersey’s municipal courts. Seasoned practitioners who have handled hundreds of municipal court matters will provide you with an overview of the local court system, review the types of cases that are heard in municipal courts and provide you with practical information for successfully handling a case.
