Municipal

In New Jersey, municipal courts have jurisdiction over cases that involve local ordinance that cover a wide range of local topics and concerns. Most violations of municipal ordinances are not seen as criminal offenses and the punishment is payable by fine in many cases.

Local Ordinance
Under the state law of New Jersey, municipalities are permitted to create and enact local rules and regulations intended to help self-govern a specific municipality. These rules and regulations are referred to as ordinances. Some examples of local ordinance violations are:
– Public Intoxication 
– Underage drinking
– Open alcohol beverage while driving 
– Domestic Alterations
– Disorderly Conduct
– Housing Violations
– Shoplifting

In many cases, local ordinance violations can be paid by fine and do not require community service or jail time. However, before paying a fine or pleading guilty, it’s important to discuss your case with an experienced local municipal defense attorney.
