Practicing law in New Jersey. Legal matters in New Jersey are governed by state-specific rules of civil and criminal procedure, statutes of limitations, and substantive law. Cases originating in New Brunswick are typically filed in the local municipal court or the appropriate New Jersey state district court, depending on subject matter and amount in controversy.
