Access to Public Records
In New Jersey you have the right to view public records with some exceptions. The law is also know as OPRA wherein the is a presumption that all government records are open to public view. The State has done a great job in making the records available online As an example there is an investigation by the Attorney General's Office into Cherry Hill Tri Plex an auto dealership. You can request and receive the pleadings filed by the State. The Counties and the local towns do not have online access, but they do usually post the instructions on their web sites. As an example Camden has this on their website.
