The Supreme Court previously sought public comment on proposed amendments to Rule 5:22-2(a) (“Motion for Waiver of Jurisdiction and Referral”), which were intended to expedite the filing of motions to waive Family jurisdiction in certain serious juvenile delinquency matters. After consideration of the comments received from members of the legal community (including both the Office of the Public Defender and the Attorney General’s Office), the Court has determined not to amend Rule 5:22-2(a) at this time.
The Court thanks all those who provided thoughtful comments on the proposal. Input from members of the bar and public is an important and integral part of the rule amendment process
