Ewing Township Municipal Court is one of thirteen municipal courts in Mercer County (www.njcourtsonline.com). The municipal court is a local court created by state law, whose territory is confined to the municipality in which it is located. Practice and procedures are governed by New Jersey Court Rules. Ewing Township Municipal Court handles the following matters: violations of motor vehicle and traffic laws; violations of municipal ordinances; violations of Weights and Measures, Parks and Forests, Fish & Game, SPCA, disorderly and petty disorderly persons offenses. An offense is a disorderly persons or petty disorderly persons offense and is heard in municipal court. Crimes are indictable charges and are designated as being of the first, second, third or fourth degree. They are sent to the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office where it is decided whether to present the case to a grand jury or to return the case to the municipal court as a less serious offense (a downgrade). Court sessions are open proceedings and may be viewed by the public. There is no jury in a municipal court proceeding. Testimony is taken from the complainant, defendant and any witnesses, then a decision is rendered by the judge based on the facts presented and the law.
