Municipal court sessions across New Jersey have been suspended for two weeks in an effort to mitigate public exposure to COVID-19, the novel coronavirus that’s shut down state and local governments, schools and businesses around the country.

On March 14, N.J. Supreme Court Chief Justice Stuart Rabner announced the 14-day suspension for individuals appearing on a traffic or parking ticket, or minor local ordinance violation. Those individuals, he said, should await a new court date.
