Do you know the latest New Jersey decisions in 2021 alone that should be at your fingertips when you enter a Municipal Court in New Jersey?

These cases deal with major issues confronting municipal court law practitioners in this state. Without a complete understanding of what these cases involve, you could be at a serious disadvantage when you bring your next municipal court matter to court. Don’t miss this opportunity to benefit from the expertise and experience of five of the state’s leading municipal court law practitioners as they analyze this year’s leading municipal court law cases.
