As the second most populous county in the state, Middlesex County is home to 860,147 residents and is distinguished by its rapidly growing Asian Indian population. The county seat, New Brunswick, serves as a hub for cultural activities, sciences, and the arts. The Middlesex County court system comprises Superior Courts, Surrogate's Courts, and Municipal Courts. The superior court in New Brunswick is divided into two courthouses. The surrogate's court operates a main office and 11 satellite offices. Additionally, each of the 25 municipalities in Middlesex County is home to a municipal court.

Through its several divisions, the Superior Court in Middlesex County handles the county's legal matters. Its Criminal Division handles all criminal cases, while the Civil Division deals with complex litigation and small claims. The Family Division is responsible for handling juvenile delinquency, adoption, and other family-related matters. The Chancery Division hears contested probate matters and foreclosure actions. Furthermore, Municipal Courts are responsible for addressing all disorderly person offenses, DWI cases, and violations of fish and game regulations. Lastly, the Surrogate's Court handles uncontested probate matters that involve a valid will and no disputes between the executor and the beneficiaries.

It is worth noting that certain records containing confidential information, such as adoption, child abuse, juvenile delinquency, and domestic violence records, cannot be provided by custodians of court records.
