Decisions
The OAL libraries in the Trenton and Newark offices are closed to the public. Only OAL employees are permitted to use the libraries. Public and private sector attorneys; non-attorney representatives; pro se litigants; and employees of other State or local agencies are not permitted to utilize the library materials or work in the library. These restrictions are the result of budgetary constraints. We regret any inconvenience caused by this policy.
OAL initial and final decisions are available from the following sources:
Selected decisions prior to October 1991 can be found in New Jersey Administrative Reports (N.J.A.R.)
Decisions from l991-September l997 can be found in N.J.A.R. 2d, a looseleaf publication that arranges decisions according to agency.
Decisions from October 1997-present can be found on the internet at a free website maintained by Rutgers-Camden School of Law. Decisions from October 1997 and later are not available in a hard copy compilation. The website address for finding decisions is as follows:
initial decisions: http://lawlibrary.rutgers.edu/oal/search.html

Decisions available in N.J.A.R., N.J.A.R. 2d, or on the Rutgers-Camden School of Law website are NOT available from the OAL. Please check these sources before requesting a decision from the OAL.
