New Jersey. Superior Court

From 1947 to 1979, the Monmouth County Court was responsible for appeals from penalties imposed by the municipal courts for criminal cases. In 1979, jurisdiction of the county court was transferred to the New Jersey Superior Court. Consequently, record series for the books (4300.2) and sample cases (4300.5) are a continuation of the Monmouth County Court criminal appeals record series (4200.7). While the criminal appeal books are permanent records, the case files are on a five-year retention schedule. Since these records are a rich source for social and local history, the Monmouth County Archives retained a selected sample of case files for permanent retention.
