The New Brunswick Municipal Court is at 25 Kirkpatrick Street, according to the NJ Judiciary, and sits Monday through Thursday. New Brunswick is also the Middlesex County seat, so indictable charges are prosecuted by the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office in the same city.

Because the county courthouse is in New Brunswick, a single arrest there can lead to dates in two courts in the same city: the municipal court for traffic, DWI and disorderly persons charges, and the Middlesex County Superior Court for indictable crimes and restraining order hearings. We take New Brunswick cases from our only office, in Newark.
