Bayonne's municipal court is inside City Hall at 630 Avenue C and posts strict rules for both in-person and Zoom sessions. Indictable Bayonne cases are prosecuted by Hudson County and heard in Jersey City.

Bayonne's court page spells out conduct rules for both its in-person and virtual courtrooms. In person, no weapons, food, drink or gum are allowed and phones must be off. On Zoom, you must stay in one place, keep your microphone muted until called, and you may not appear from a moving vehicle. We take Bayonne cases from our only office, in Newark.
