Scheduling Motions/Oral Argument
Motions must always be assigned a return date; if no return date is indicated in the notice of motion, then the motion will be assigned to be heard on the next available motion date. Motions will not be adjourned without being assigned another hearing date.
Oral argument should be confirmed by the court two days prior to the return date. Confirmation is made to the moving party, whose obligation it is to advise all other parties. Note that motion calendars and oral argument status are now posted on the
Judiciary’s Internet website at www.njcourtsonline. This information is updated nightly so that attorneys and parties can search their particular case to determine when the motion will be heard and whether oral argument has been granted. The practice of posting tentative motion decisions in advance of the return date may be continued or implemented as a local prerogative. The court makes every effort to accommodate attorneys’ requests to schedule oral argument on motions at a particular time. The use of the telephone to hear oral argument is encouraged, and attorneys’ requests for telephone argument are accommodated where possible.
