According to the New Jersey Judiciary, the New Jersey Criminal Justice Process is comprised of several steps that include: 

• Intake - The Criminal Division of Superior Court oversees criminal complaints from the time they are filed to their disposition. The defendant is charged with an offense as consequence of a formal complaint issued by a law enforcement agent or a citizen who believes a transgression has been committed against their person or property. It can also result from an indictment by a grand jury. An arrest can happen at the scene of a crime, based on warrants, or sworn statements ordering a court appearance. All arrests must be based on probable cause, or reasonable grounds to believe that a transgression has taken place and the defendant may have committed the offense.
  
  
• First Appearance - Once a complaint has been issued, a defendant can are either be arrested or issued a summons/notice to appear in municipal or Superior Court on a first appearance. If they do not appear, a warrant may be issued for their arrest by the judge if there is proof of service, or evidence that the accused received the summons /notice and failed to appear. At the first court appearance, defendants are informed of their rights. Their bail is then reviewed.
  
  
• Bail – Bail is required to be set within twelve hours of the issuance of a complaint. All defendants have a right to bail under the New Jersey state constitution. If bail is posted, the defendant is released until the charges in the complaint are resolved. Defendants may be required to post collateral to guarantee that they will appear in court. They might be required to deposit such collateral with the criminal division manager in exchange for a promise to appear.
