A person who applies for representation by a Municipal Public Defender
or a Court-Approved Counsel shall pay an application fee of not more
than two hundred ($200.00) dollars but only in an amount necessary
to pay the costs of the Municipal Public Defender's services.
In accordance with guidelines promulgated by the Supreme Court of
the State of New Jersey, the Municipal Court may waive any required
application fee, in whole, or in part, only if the Court so 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. The Municipal Court may permit a person
to pay the application fee over a specific period of time not to exceed
four (4) months.
