[HISTORY: Adopted by the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Chester 4-3-1980
as Sec. 2-6 of the 1980 Code. Amendments noted where applicable.]
A Municipal Court is hereby established under Chapter 8 of Title 2A
of the Revised Statutes of New Jersey and as amended and supplemented.
The name of the Court shall be "Municipal Court of the Borough of Chester."
The Municipal Court shall have and exercise the limited civil and criminal
jurisdiction prescribed by Chapter 8 of Title 2A of the Revised Statutes of
New Jersey and as amended and supplemented from time to time.
The Court shall have a judge who shall be known as the "Municipal Judge."
[Amended by Ord. No. 97-17]
The position of Municipal Public Defender is hereby established so that
persons applying for representation by a Municipal Public Defender may avail
themselves of said service. Applicants requesting representation by the Municipal
Public Defender shall pay an application fee of not more than $200 in accordance
with the provisions of P.L. 1997 c. 256. The Municipal Court may waive any
required application fee, in whole or in part, if the Court determines, in
its discretion, upon a clear and convincing showing by the applicant that
the application fee represents an unreasonable burden on the person seeking
representation.
