How can you appeal a decision of the Municipal Court?

If you disagree with the judge’s decision, you may appeal. However, the appeal must be filed within 20 calendar days of the conviction. A deposit of $250 must be sent to the Municipal Court, which will be used to cover the cost of preparing the transcripts. Additionally, filing an appeal will require a $100 filing fee. The court staff can provide a copy of the appeal packet titled "How to Appeal a Decision of a Municipal Court." Information on representing yourself in an appeal is also available at www.njcourts.gov.
