Which court handles the charge?

Mount Holly is home to municipal and county-level courts, but the charge and complaint identify where a case proceeds. Traffic tickets, DWI and disorderly-persons matters are generally handled in municipal court. Indictable criminal charges proceed through New Jersey Superior Court. The first step is reading the complaint and identifying the court, charge and next date—not assuming every criminal case follows the same path.
