Municipal Court

Long Island Beach and Southern Ocean County Municipal Court Lawyers

In New Jersey, the vast majority of cases heard in the municipal courts are for traffic violations and other types of disorderly persons offenses. Municipal courts are similar to regular criminal courts in that a judge presides over the court and a prosecutor acts on behalf of the State of New Jersey. However, in municipal court there is no jury trial. The possible sentences issued in municipal court, based on the offense, include fines, community service, license suspension, and even jail time.
