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 the laws of the United States and this State.
Required to accomplish our mission are four paramount values representing the core of what we stand for as an organization:
Independence
Integrity
Fairness
Quality Service
Municipal Courts are courts of limited jurisdiction, having responsibility for motor vehicle and parking tickets, minor criminal-type offenses, municipal ordinances offenses and other offenses.
Interpreters
Please note that a certified Spanish interpreter is available at all of our court sessions. If you require another language, please call the court office or email us at cliftoncourts@cliftonnj.org and let the staff know your preferred language before your court date so we can have a certified interpreter available for your session.
