The New Jersey Court Records website is constructed with the objective of offering some insights into the state’s court system. It provides a broad overview of the hierarchical organization within New Jersey's judicial branch, from courts with limited jurisdiction, such as Municipal courts, to the New Jersey Superior Courts, which serve as the primary trial courts, to the New Jersey Supreme Court, the highest court in the state. This website also provides access to some public records and operates as a private organization independent of any state government body.

Under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, residents can review and inspect non-exempt public government records by contacting official record custodians. Requesters are typically able to access certain records without the necessity of specifying a "need to know" unless expressly stipulated otherwise. New Jersey Court Records aims to help provide general guidance on locating and accessing New Jersey Public Records from official custodians, where feasible.
