In furtherance of the ongoing operation of Criminal Justice Reform, this Order further amends the November 3, 2016 order that listed by vicinage those Municipal Court judges authorized by the Chief Justice pursuant to Rules 3:4- 2(b) and 7:3-1 (b) to handle CJP (Central Judicial Processing) or centralized first appearance matters for that vicinage, which order has since been amended a number of times, most recently by order dated January 29, 2026 with regard to the list of authorized judges. By separate order dated September 12, 2024 the judges authorized by this series of orders are also authorized to handle Violations of Monitoring matters. The revisions to the list of authorized CJP judges as set forth in this twenty-second amendatory order are effective immediately.
