NJ's court system is understaffed, contributing to the state's high hail population
New Jersey’s court system remains critically understaffed. It’s a major reason Jaralyn Lawrence, president of the New Jersey State Bar Association, says is contributing to the state's high jail population. She says there are roughly 70 vacant court seats across the state in every county, except Burlington, needing to be filled, which is creating a slowdown in trials.
