SPECIAL CIVIL PART- CENTRALIZED MAILING OF SPECIAL CIVIL PART (DC) SERVICE OF PROCESS; NEW ONE-PAGE SUMMONS FORM

NOTICE To THE BAR
SPECIAL CIVIL PART- CENTRALIZED MAILING OF SPECIAL CIVIL PART (DC) SERVICE
OF PROCESS; NEW ONE-PAGE SUMMONS FORM (RULES APPENDIX XI-A (1))
As part of the Judiciary's implementation of the centralized mailing and automation of service of process, the Administrative Director of the Courts, in accordance with Rule 6:2-1 and the Supreme Court's July 14, 2014 rule relaxation order and with the approval of the Chief Justice, has approved a one-page Special Civil Part summons form for use effective July 20, 2015. This new one-page Special Civil Part (DC) summons is published with this notice and will supersede the summons form that is included in the Rules of Court as Rules Appendix XI-A(1 ).
Additionally, the Supreme Court has relaxed Rule 1:13-?(d), also effective July 20, 2015, so as to delete reference to a "new page 2 of the summons" since as of that date the summons, as noted above, will be one page. The Court's June 16, 2015 rule relaxation order is published with this notice. The Judiciary's JEFIS operating system will automatically generate the Special Civil Part (DC) summons form in electronically filed cases. Non-JEFIS filers will need to complete the summons form manually.
In those non-electronically filed Special Civil Part cases with multiple plaintiffs and/or defendants, a supplemental page that merely notes the names and addresses of those additional parties shall be completed by the filing party. The supplemental page form shall be available at all Special Civil Part Clerk's Offices and will be posted on the judiciary's website at njcourts.com.
The centralized printing and mailing (regular mail and certified mail) of Special Civil Part (DC) summonses will be piloted by the Mercer and Essex Vicinages from July 20. 2015 through August 14, 2015 (approximately 4 weeks). Thereafter, barring unforeseen technical difficulties, beginning August 17, 2015 all Special Civil Part (DC) summonses statewide will be printed and mailed (regular mail and certified mail) centrally from the Administrative Office of Courts in Trenton. This will result in significant process efficiencies and operational cost savings.
There will be a limited number of situations for which the programming will allow for printing and mailing of these mailers to occur from a vicinage rather than centrally. Those situations include personal re-service requests, or alternative service of process requests upon a Surrogate, the Motor Vehicle Commission, or the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance.
Questions pertaining to the centralized mailing program , the rule relaxation order, or the new one-page Special Civil Part (DC) summons may be Kevin M. Wolfe, Assistant Director for Civil Practice, at Kevin.Wolfe@judiciarv.state.nj.us or at 609-292- 8470, or to Lloyd Garner, Chief, Special Civil Part Services, by email at

Lloyd.Garner@judiciary.state.nj.us or by phone at 609-292-8470. ·Questions pertaining to the Judiciary's JEFIS application may be directed to the Automated Trial Court Services Unit at 609-292-8439.

Hon. Glenn A. Grant, J.A.D. Acting Administrative Director

SUPREME COURT OF NEW JERSEY
Pursuant to N.J. Canst. Art VI, sec. 2 par. 3, it is ORDERED that, effective July 20, 2015 and until further order, Rule 1:13-?(d) of the Rules Governing the Courts of the State of New Jersey is hereby supplemented and relaxed in support of the centralized printing and mailing of Special Civil Part (DC) service of process (both regular mail and certified mail) so as to omit the reference to "new page 2 of the summons," inasmuch as the Special Civil Part Summons, as contained in the Rules of Court as Appendix XI- A(1), will be a new one-page form as of that date. This rule relaxation will be pending conforming amendment of the rule. Further, where a supplemental page must be completed in non-electronically filed Special Civil Part cases because there are multiple
plaintiffs and/or defendants, that supplemental page shall be available at all Special Civil Part Clerk's Offices and on the judiciary's website at njcourts.com.
