The New Jersey Supreme Court Guidelines for Emergent Matters (Rule 2:9-8) are a set of rules established by the highest court in the state of New Jersey in order to provide guidance for matters that are urgent or require immediate attention. These rules are designed to ensure that the court can expeditiously handle cases that require immediate resolution. These rules provide guidance on when an emergent matter should be filed, how to file the application, when an application will be heard, and what to include in an application. The New Jersey Supreme Court Guidelines for Emergent Matters (Rule 2:9-8) include four types of applications: 1. Applications for Emergent Injunctive Relief: These applications seek a court order to protect a party from irreparable harm that cannot be remedied by monetary damages. 2. Applications for Emergent Review of an Appeal or Proceeding: These applications seek an expedited review of a trial court decision or other appellate proceeding. 3. Applications for Emergent Interim Relief: These applications seek an interim order to preserve a party’s rights or interests during the pendency of an appeal or related proceeding. 4. Applications for Emergent Special or Extraordinary Relief: These applications seek orders that are not typically available, such as orders to modify a trial court decision or to allow a party to pursue an appeal. The New Jersey Supreme Court Guidelines for Emergent Matters (Rule 2:9-8) provide guidance on how to properly file an application for emergent relief, how to provide notice of the application to other parties, and the procedures that the court must follow when considering an application.
