Interlaken Municipal Court holds sessions on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 5:00 p.m., except for December due to the Christmas holiday. The court office is open Monday and Tuesday, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Wednesday and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Court hearings for Interlaken Municipal Court are presided by the Honorable George Cieri. Patricia Weaver, the Court Administrator handles administrative duties such as processing court forms and ticket payments.
Although a court appearance is required in criminal matters, this is not always the case with municipal violations. If you must appear in court, there will be a checkmark in the “court appearance required” box on your summons. If a court appearance is not mandated, you can choose to pay your fine, understanding that this is an automatic guilty plea. You can also choose to enter a not guilty plea and be heard in front of the judge. In the latter case, you must enter a not guilty plea with the Court Administrator at least 7 days prior to your court or payment date.
Careful consideration must be given to how you should plead. It is best to seek legal advice from an experienced Interlaken attorney to get a full understanding of your rights and options. Working with a lawyer may result in a reduction of your charges, helping you avoid damaging consequences such as suspension of driving privileges and jail time.
If you are not required to appear in court and wish to plead guilty, you can resolve your summons by making a payment to the Interlaken Municipal Court. Payments are accepted during the court’s normal business hours, and must be in the form of cash, check or money order.
Online payments can be made for parking and traffic tickets only. The NJMC Direct website at www.njmcdirect.com accepts payments from Visa and MasterCard credit and debit cards. There is a convenience fee assessed for this service, for which a detailed schedule is available on the NJMC Direct homepage. Please be sure to have your ticket handy, since you will need information from the ticket in order to access the system.
