The Lower Township Municipal Court Office will be closed on Monday, September 25, 2023.
We will reopen on Tuesday, September 26th from 8:30am - 4pm.
Per guidance from the Administrative Office of the Courts, dated May 14, 2021, Municipal Courts will now resume issuing bench warrants and failures to appear for missed court appearances.
We are an independent branch of government constitutionally entrusted with the fair and just resolution of disputes in order to preserve the rule of law and to protect the rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States and this State.
