Elizabeth Municipal Court
About New Jersey Municipal Courts
Municipal Courts in New Jersey have jurisdiction over municipal ordinance violations, motor vehicle and parking tickets, and minor criminal offenses (such as shoplifting and drug possession). A Municipal Court only has jurisdiction over cases that occur within the boundaries of the city or town it serves. More serious criminal cases may start out in Municipal Court, but they are eventually referred to county Superior Courts.
