For Attorneys and Other Professionals

The Essex County Sheriff’s Department offers attorneys both in-person and video visitation with clients.

• Attorneys shall be permitted to visit inmates between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.
• Law students and paralegals shall be permitted to visit inmates during posted visiting hours for those inmates only after the attorney of record requests the visit and a clearance and Form 3:03 is completed and approved in advance of the visit.
• An attorney, law student or paralegal that intends to visit more than one inmate simultaneously shall not be unreasonably withheld.
• Where a delay occurs, the attorney, law student or paralegal affected shall be promptly informed of the cause of the delay and the expected duration of the delay.
• In emergency situations and upon twenty-four (24) hour notice the Superintendent may grant extended visitation hours.
