A 645 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Exempts judges and justices from jury duty.

This bill exempts judges and justices from serving on jury duty in New Jersey. It amends state law to add specific judicial roles - including Supreme Court justices, Superior Court judges, municipal court judges, and federal judges - to the list of people automatically excused from jury service. The exemption applies immediately to all future jury summonses, meaning these judicial officers will no longer be required to serve as jurors. The change directly affects current and future judges across multiple court levels in New Jersey.
