State Courts are Closed Today: Many Municipal Courts Remain Open

According to the New Jersey Judiciary's website, “The Chief Justice determined that all state courts and state court offices will be closed Wednesday, Feb. 5.” The public and litigants should be aware that The Chief Justice's order  does not apply to the Municipal Courts in New Jersey.  The municipal courts that are scheduled to be open today must make their own determination whether to close or remain open.  If you have a matter pending in municipal court today you should contact the court and confirm whether the court is open or closed.  Our office, DeMichele & DeMichele, PC, is open.
