Day of Service

The Superior Court of New Jersey, Burlington Vicinage, in partnership with the Burlington County Bar Association, will hold a Day of Service on Monday, Sept. 12 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11.  

The day also will mark the beginning of the new court year with an opening ceremony and memorial service at 9 a.m. in courtroom 1 on the third floor of the County Office Building. This time-honored tradition began when court would recess in the summer and reopen in September.  

The bar association will pay tribute to eight members of the Burlington legal profession who died during the year. The ceremony also will honor the memory of the victims and the heroism of the first responders of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.  

From noon to 2 p.m. volunteer attorneys will provide free legal consultations on foreclosure, wills and estates, and flood relief in the wake of Hurricane Irene.  A FEMA representative will be present to discuss matters related to the impact of Hurricane Irene on the Burlington County community and the procedures for applying for federal aid.  
All of the Day of Service events are free and open to the public.
