Re: no contest law

You are referring to a position one can sometimes take in reference to a criminal charge whereby guilt is not denied and is not admitted, but the court proceeds to mete out punishment. There is no such plea postion under the criminal law of New Jersey. One either pleads not guilty or admists guilt by pleading guilty.

Re: no contest law

In NJ the equivalent of a "no contest" plea would be something like PTI (pre-trial intervention) where you do not necessarily plead guilty, yet you are under court supervision for a certain period of time and then your case is dismissed. That is as close to no contest as you can get in New Jersey.
