Mission Statement
We are an independent branch of government constitutionally entrusted with the fair and just resolution of disputes in order to preserve the rule of law and to protect the rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States and this State.
Description
The Judiciary resolves nearly one million Superior Court cases and 6 million municipal court cases each year. We work hard every day to build the public’s trust and confidence in our court system. Whether it be in a courtroom, a courthouse, an IT office or in the field, our Judiciary workforce is improving the lives of countless individuals and families every day. We resolve disputes, foster rehabilitation, strengthen families, protect rights and provide information, programs and services critical to protecting public safety.
The New Jersey Judiciary has been a national leader on many fronts. In addition to groundbreaking jurisprudence, the Judiciary has been recognized for its robust statewide information technology systems, its position on the cutting edge of criminal justice reform and juvenile justice reform, its high standards in the area of language services and programs for minorities and other protected groups, and its rehabilitative approach to helping individuals and families.
