New Jersey Municipal Court Direct Codes are a system of alphanumeric codes used to categorize and identify violations processed in municipal courts across the state. These codes are assigned to traffic offenses, criminal violations, and local ordinance breaches. Understanding these codes is essential for anyone dealing with legal proceedings, as they determine the penalties and proceedings associated with an offense.
