Stafford Township Municipal Court conducts virtual court sessions when appropriate. A virtual court session is a legal proceeding and is treated as if you were physically in the courtroom. The court is utilizing ZOOM to conduct our proceedings. If you resolve your case virtually, you will not have to physically appear in court. 


​Before your court date
​​• You will receive an email asking you to register for the session. 

• If you don't already have Zoom downloaded to your smartphone, PC, laptop or tablet, please do so upon receiving your emailed court notice. This will avoid any delays on the day of court. 

​• You must view the court’s opening statements: Click here to see a list of available languages.

​​Day of Court​
​• Log onto the court session at least 5-10 minutes prior to your scheduled time. This will allow you the opportunity to resolve any technical issues. Remember to click yes when you get a message from your electronic device asking for permission to access your camera and microphone.​ ​


​​• Please be in a quiet room to avoid background noise. Remember you are attending court and should dress appropriately!​​

• Upon entering the virtual courtroom, you will be in a waiting room and will remain in that room until the court staff let you into the court. ​​​​​


​​• After you are admitted into the main room, your microphone will be muted and remain muted until your case is called. A brief explanation of the process will be given. Some people will be put in a breakout room. You will wait in the breakout room for the prosecutor to join the room to discuss your case privately. No one else will be in the room so no one can hear your conversation.    Note: the prosecutor will be speaking to multiple people who are scheduled for court so there will be a wait. When you are done leave the breakout room, not the meeting.​

• When the Judge calls your name, you will need to turn your microphone and camera on. The court may send you a message to unmute your mic and turn your camera on for your convenience.​​

​​• Upon completion of your case, the judge will excuse you. Your microphone will once again be muted at which point you may leave the session / meeting. ​​
​

After court ​

• Within 2 business days, the court staff will email you the information on how to make your payment. If a week has passed and you have not heard from us, please call or email the office to follow up.​​
