 A MESSAGE FROM THE BLOOMFIELD COURT ADMINISTRATOR

 Welcome to the Bloomfield Municipal Court website. We are the 16th largest court in New Jersey and the 3rd largest in Essex County.  As a result of our heavy volume and court sessions it is often difficult to reach us.  Therefore, we decided to create a website to make us more accessible to the public and have as much information as possible to serve you better.  It is my wish that you find as much information, links, and forms as possible to serve you better.

Mission Statement  

We are an independent branch of government constitutionally entrusted with the fair and just resolution of disputes to preserve the rule of law and to protect the rights and liberties guaranteed by the constitution and laws of the United States and the State of New Jersey.  

Core Values
Required to accomplish our mission, four paramount values represent the core of what we stand for as an organization.  

Fairness
Independence
Integrity
Quality Service
