- Monmouth Law Day Celebration, Law Day Announcement, Law Day 2025 The Monmouth Vicinage, in partnership with the Monmouth Bar Association, celebrated Law Day by hosting several events in May. This year’s national theme, as established by the American Bar Association, is “The Constitution’s Promise: Out of Many, One.” This year’s theme “urges us to take pride in a Constitution that bridges our differences to bring us together as a united nation.” The Monmouth Vicinage, in partnership with the Monmouth Bar Association, hosted the following Law Day events centered on this theme. On May 1, the unveiling of the portrait of retired Superior Court Judge David F. Bauman was held at the Monmouth County Courthouse. Judge Bauman began his judicial career in 2008 and served in all four divisions of the Superior Court during his 16 years on the Bench before his retirement in 2024. Throughout his 16 years of service, Judge Bauman served for 15 years as Presiding Judge of the Civil (2009-2015; 2021-2023), Criminal (2016-2021) and Chancery (2023-2024) Divisions. Also on May 1, the Monmouth Bar Association presented attorney Thomas J. Smith III with the Abraham Zager Award for Professionalism. The award is given to a member of the association who has demonstrated excellence in adherence to professional standards of practice, competence, civility and integrity. On May 29, a Student Law Day Symposium for Monmouth County students was held at the Monmouth County Courthouse. The Symposium highlighted jury service and featured remarks from Assignment Judge Marc C. Lemieux and a presentation by vicinage Jury Manager Francesca Dannunzio. Criminal Division Presiding Judge Jill O’Malley, Judge Natalie Watson and members of the criminal division hosted a mock trial and mock jury selection focusing on the attorney-conducted voir dire process. Assignment Judge Lemieux, along with Lester W. Richens, Monmouth County interim executive county superintendent of schools, spoke and presented awards to the student winners of the vicinage’s Law Day art, essay, and poetry contests at the May 29 Law Day Awards and Student Recognition Ceremony at the Monmouth County Courthouse. The Daniel J. O’Hern Mock Trial Award was also presented to this year’s winner, Colts Neck High School. The Law Day symposium and the awards ceremony are cosponsored by the Monmouth Bar Association and the New Jersey State Bar Foundation and are made possible with funding from the IOLTA Fund of the state bar foundation.

The program allows certain carefully selected state prison inmates the opportunity to work their way back into the community under close community supervision by specially trained probation officers. We are actively recruiting for all regions (Northern, Central, and Southern) with a special recruitment focus on the Southern Region. The majority of screening board panels meet virtually. However, in-person visits may also be required to some institutions. Southern Region volunteers will be required to visit South Woods State Prison located in Bridgeton, New Jersey to conduct screening board interviews. For more information about ISP Volunteer opportunities, please visit the link below: Intensive Supervision Program - Screening board Learn more about this volunteer opportunity.
- Court Appointed Special Advocate(CASA), The Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program is designed to help monitor abused and neglected children in out-of-home placements. CASA fulfills this mission by the careful recruitment, training and supervision of community volunteers who are then assigned to a child in the foster care system. The primary objective of CASA is to represent to the court the best interests of the abused and neglected child to whom he or she has been assigned. The court gives CASA investigative authority to examine all aspects of a child's case and to explore all viable avenues to achieve a stable home environment for that child. CASA becomes the child's voice in court. Program volunteers are required to complete mandatory program-specific training prior to appointment and in-service training thereafter. NOTE: The CASA program is managed by a separate, non-profit organization. If you are interested in finding out more about this program you can obtain the appropriate contact information from the CASA of New Jersey CASA of New Jersey website .
- Juvenile Conference Committees (JCC), The Juvenile Conference Committees (JCCs) serve under the authority of the Family Division of Superior Court. A JCC is a six to nine member citizen volunteer panel appointed by the Family Division Judge. In a confidential setting, JCC panels hear and decide matters involving alleged juvenile offenders. The juvenile, parent(s) and or guardian(s) and complainant/victim are invited to discuss the offense and related matters with the Committee. The JCC considers the facts, and makes recommendations to the judge for a resolution that would aid in the juvenile's rehabilitation. The program is designed to divert juveniles charged with first or second time minor offenses to their local JCC, which acts as a community-based arm of the Family Court. Program volunteers are required to complete mandatory program-specific training.
- Municipal Court Mediation(MCM), It is through the Municipal Courts that most citizens in the State interact with the judicial system, either as a complainant, a defendant, a victim, or a witness. The Municipal Court Mediation program provides court users in nearly all municipalities with an alternative to having certain cases heard and decided by a judge (traditional litigation). Endorsed by the New Jersey Supreme Court, Municipal Courts refer cases involving "minor disputes" to be handled through the mediation process. Mediation is a structured, non-adversarial process that allows a neutral third party to assist disputing parties in reaching a mutually acceptable solution. The mediation process can be a less expensive, informal, and a more meaningful alternative to the traditional trial process, largely because of the efforts of trained volunteers and the resolution being decided by the participants. Community members are recruited, carefully screened, trained, and appointed as court volunteers to mediate cases of minor dispute. Basic mediation and conciliation training (an 18-hour course) is required of all volunteers prior to appointment. As a neutral party, a mediator helps court users discuss the issues of their case and explore options to resolve the dispute themselves. The typical types of cases handled through the intervention of a trained mediator include, but are not limited to: simple assaults that do not include personal injury, trespass, harassment, creating a disturbance, animal or pet complaints, annoying phone calls, property disputes, non-payment of bills, bad checks, and criminal mischief. On average, volunteer mediators devote between two and six hours per month.
- Parenting Mediation (PME), Separation and divorce can dramatically affect the relationship between parents and their children. The quantity and quality of time that children spend with each parent is important to a healthy post-separation and post-divorce adjustment. Although the courts can determine a parenting plan, it is almost always best if the parents work together to agree on the details of the plan (i.e., schedule of the time children are to be in the care of each parent, parent's participation in education, health care, religious upbringing, decision making and financial support). Trained volunteers use mediation techniques to assist parents or guardians in developing the parenting plan, particularly in any family action in which the parties do not agree to a custody or parenting time/visitation arrangement.
- Special Civil Settlement (SCS), One party may sue another party to collect an amount of money up to $20,000 that they believe is owed to them. Trained volunteers assist the parties in attempting to resolve their dispute through their voluntary agreement.
- Supervised Visitation Program (SVP), The Supervised Visitation Program was established by legislation to provide a forum for children and non-custodial parents to develop or re-establish ongoing familial relationships in a safe environment. The program affords the non-custodial parent the opportunity to spend time with his/her child(ren) in a neutral setting without interference from the custodial parent or other interested parties. The program provides children the opportunity to establish a normal, healthy relationship with the non-custodial parent. Specially-trained volunteers and student interns oversee the visits to observe interaction between the child(ren) and parent/guardian and to maintain a safe environment., *If you are interested in applying to become a Supervised Visitation Program volunteer, please write Supervised Visitation Program in the other category on your volunteer application.*
- Landlord/Tenant Settlement (LTS), Specially trained volunteers conduct landlord/tenant settlement proceedings in which the parties appear before a neutral third party, a trained volunteer, who assists them in attempting to resolve their dispute by their voluntary agreement.
- Small Claims Settlement (SMCS), One party may sue another party to collect a small amount of money ($5000 or less for Return of Security Deposit) that they believe is owed to them. Trained volunteers assist the parties in attempting to resolve their dispute through their voluntary agreement.
- Courthouse Information Specialist (CIS), The Courthouse Information Specialist program allows members of the community to participate in greeting and directing court users. Under the direction of court staff, volunteers are equipped to answer questions and provide assistance both in person or by phone, serving as a central welcome/information center for the court complex or a specific division. Volunteers may also maintain and distribute informational brochures or relevant forms regarding court services as well as assist with tasks such as, but not limited to: data entry and look ups, filing, sorting and distributing mail, and making photocopies. Flexible volunteer schedules are available.
- Child Placement Review Board (CPR), The Child Placement Review (CPR) program is a key component of the court's role in the oversight of children in foster care. Groups of trained judicial volunteers, appointed by the assignment judge, assist the court in reviewing cases of children placed outside of their homes by the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P). A volunteer is assigned to a CPR Board, consisting of about 5 volunteers, to review these cases. CPR Boards conduct various reviews of children involved in "voluntary placement" cases. In such cases, DCP&P has placed a child out of his or her home pursuant to a voluntary agreement signed by the parent but there is no allegation of abuse or neglect and DCP&P has not filed a child abuse or neglect complaint case against the parent. In "litigated" cases, for which DCP&P has filed a child abuse or neglect complaint, a CPR Board conducts one review to determine the progress made by DCP&P in addressing the child's needs and any potential barriers to finding a safe, permanent home for the child. These litigated cases remain under the direct oversight of a judge. In all cases, CPR Boards draft case-specific recommendations for the consideration of a judge. At CPR Board meetings, held at designated court facilities on a scheduled basis, the Board may interact with DCP&P caseworkers or their supervisors, parents, foster parents, or other child welfare stakeholders. CPR volunteers complete court-sponsored initial training upon appointment in addition to annual continuing education programs dealing with current child welfare issues, ensuring their meaningful participation in the child placement review process. Integral to the New Jersey Child Placement Advisory Council (NJ CPAC) and its mission is the mandate to advise New Jersey’s three branches of government on the effectiveness of the Child Placement Review Act. Read the NJ CPAC Report NJ CPAC Annual Report. NJ CPAC also holds training workshops and events on topics that are appropriate and relevant for CPR board volunteers. A representative from each CPR Board statewide is selected annually to be a member of the New Jersey Child Placement Advisory Council (NJ CPAC). For more information about CPR and NJ CPAC, contact the NJ CPAC Coordinator at NJCPAC.Mbx@njcourts.gov .
- Courthouse Services Assistance (CSA), The Courthouse Service Assistance program is a platform to engage members of the community in the day-to-day administration of the court. Under the direction of a judge or other court staff, volunteers assist court personnel in performing a variety of tasks which facilitate case processing as well as customer service. Tasks may include, but are not limited to: directing and escorting litigants or jurors, data entry, filing, sorting and distributing mail, making photocopies, programmatic assistance, answering and making phone calls, and presenting paperwork to judges or court users.
- Courthouse Visitors Assistance (CVA), The Courthouse Visitors Assistance program allows members of the community to participate in greeting and directing court users (i.e., litigants, attorneys, visitors, etc.) to their proper destination. Under the direction of court staff, volunteers are equipped to answer questions and provide assistance both in person or by phone, serving as a central welcome/information center for the court complex or a specific division. Volunteers may also maintain and distribute informational brochures or relevant forms regarding court services as well as assist with tasks such as, but not limited to: data entry, filing, sorting and distributing mail, and making photocopies.
