Keywood Reappointed as Municipal Court Judge in Middle Township
On September 16th, Middle Township Committee voted unanimously to reappoint the Honorable Thomas Keywood to a second, three-year term as the Township’s Municipal Court Judge.
Municipal Courts have jurisdiction over cases within the municipalities they serve. These cases include violations of municipal ordinances, violations of motor vehicle traffic laws, disorderly person’s offenses, petty disorderly person’s offenses, and other non-indictable offenses, except where exclusive jurisdiction is given to the Superior Court. Middle Township’s court serves the Township of Middle and the Borough of Woodbine.
Judge Keywood has been in private practice in Cape May County for nearly two decades. He was originally appointed to the position of Middle Township Municipal Court Judge in September 2021.
“The Township is grateful to have Judge Keywood remain as our Municipal Court Judge for the next three years,” Mayor Chris Leusner said. “As a former law enforcement officer and practicing attorney, Judge Keywood has the real-world experience to handle the court in a fair, practical and efficient manner.”
Judge Keywood’s new, three-year term will begins on October 1, 2024.
