Municipal Court and Your Rights
By having your case heard in municipal court instead of criminal court, you are facing less severe punishment, with limits on the amount of jail time, fines and restitution that you could face.

There are many charges that are heard in municipal courts in New Jersey and New York, including:
- DUI and DWI offenses, including second and third offenses
- All drug charges, including simple possession of marijuana
- Disorderly conduct
- Shoplifting
- All thefts, robbery, burglary and larceny
- Assaults, harassment, domestic violence and sexual assaults
- Traffic tickets and moving violations
