New Jersey Court Watch is dedicated to upholding accountability in the courts. Our organization relies on volunteers, subscribers, and advocates who are committed to ensuring that courts operate with courtesy and fairness. We achieve this by deploying trained volunteers to monitor and report on court proceedings, a practice commonly known as court watch programs. These programs involve advocates and community members systematically observing court proceedings, recording their observations, and making the results public. By bringing the community's voice into the courthouse, we adopt a collaborative, community-based approach. ​On a broader scale, New Jersey Court Watch has the potential to drive systemic change by exposing injustices and indignities that would otherwise go unnoticed. It's important to note that New Jersey Court Watchers do not monitor legal issues or court procedural decisions; rather, we watch to hold courts accountable for treating the public, litigants, and lawyers with dignity, respect, and fairness. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that courts are accountable for their conduct and treatment of every individual, irrespective of race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or language. Our focus is on promoting court accountability through public accountability, particularly for the often overlooked, most vulnerable, and voiceless members of the community. ​ New Jersey Court Watch volunteers are trained to observe and take notes, as well as compile data on the words and actions of judges, attorneys, prosecutors, accusers, and the accused. The primary intent of the Court Watch program is to promote transparency, accountability, and community participation in courtrooms across the state.
