When a judgment is obtained, the next step may be to begin the process of docketing the judgment. This is important because it puts the other party on notice that there is a judgment pending and also begins the process of collection. The form for docketing a judgment can be found on many court websites. It usually requires some basic information about the parties and the judgment itself. There are specific rules that must be followed when completing this form, so it is important to carefully review them before submitting. Filing this form initiates proceedings that may lead to assets being seized or frozen, or even wage garnishments. So if you have obtained a judgment, take some time to file this form and get started on enforcing your rights.

Docketing Judgments |
Directive |
July 26, 1976 |
Issued by: |
Arthur J. Simpson, Jr., J.A.D. |
|
Acting Administrative Director |
In order to achieve uniformity in procedures for docketing of Special Civil Part Judgments the form developed by the former Supreme Court Committee on County District Courts and the Administrative Office of the Courts is still in use. This form has been approved by the Supreme Court and is entitled "Statement for Docketing."
The form is to be used by the Clerks of the Special Civil Part upon the depletion of their present supply of forms. It is to be reproduced locally by the Clerks and shall be prepared by them whenever a Judgment Creditor requests it so as to docket a judgment in the Superior Court.
EDITOR=S NOTE
The name of the former Supreme Court Committee on County District Courts has been added because it was that committee which developed the docketing form.
References to the former "county district court" have been changed to "Special Civil Part" in the directive. In paragraph 2, the words "either" and "County or" have been deleted because docketing is only available in Superior Court.
Although the Special Civil Part is within the Law Division of the Superior Court, R. 4:41 does not apply to its Judgments unless a statement for docketing is filed with the Clerk of the Superior Court.
