The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated a perceptible impact on New Jersey Municipal Court working sessions. That is why the municipal court was suspended from 16th March to 27th March. After reopening courts, although there is a lower in-person attendance, prosecutors introduce the guidelines to solve only major cases.
That is why the Jersey City Municipal Court is adjourning all the non-criminal cases set for the next week. This is done to provide complete protection to the inhabitants against the intimidating spread of Coronavirus.
