Mansfield Municipal Court

ABOUT YOUR COURT APPEARANCE

If you have called the court to enter a plea of not guilty, you will be given a verbal court date to appear while on the phone and a notice confirming that date will be mailed the following work day. A postponement request will not be granted the week prior to the court date unless written proof of a valid reason is submitted.

A court appearance is required for all criminal complaints, complaints filed by a private citizen and complaints filed by local municipal code enforcement officers.

If you appear in court and plead guilty or are found guilty, the Judge is not bound by the State Violation Bureau Schedule of Fines. The fines could be more or less than the listed payable amount, at the discretion of the Judge.

Upon entering the municipal building, the following procedures follow:

Check in at the court window to the immediate left.
Prior to entering the courtroom, each person shall be required to walk through a metal detector.
Any individual choosing to bring any type of carried container into the courtroom, including purses, briefcases, backpacks, or other containers, must submit the container to a visual inspection by the security personnel to assure that the object does not contain a weapon.
Any person who leaves the courtroom for any purpose must again submit to security screening.
The above security measures are in place per NJ Supreme Court Directive #15-06.
All cell phones and electronic devices must be turned off or on silent mode.
There will be no food or drink permitted in the courtroom.

The Prosecutor will call your name and speak with you either before court begins or during court. Please be patient!

*The services of an interpreter are available upon request.
