At oral arguments Tuesday, the New Jersey Supreme Court considered whether the County Prosecutors Association of New Jersey is a public agency and therefore subject to the Open Public Records Act.
On July 19, 2019, the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey submitted records requests to CPANJ for meeting agendas, funding records, briefs filed by CPANJ in state and federal courts, and any policies or practices shared with county prosecutors. In a Sept. 18, 2019, letter, CPANJ denied access to the records.
