What to know about the Jersey City Municipal Court
- The city says adjournment requests go by email to Adjourn@jcnj.org, and that your court date has not changed until you get a confirmation that a judge granted the request.
- The city's plea-by-mail form can't be used for charges of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, so a DWI requires a court appearance.
- PATH trains run between Journal Square and Newark Penn Station, next to our office.
