As the Bergen County seat, Hackensack is the center of the county's court system. The Bergen County Justice Center at 10 Main Street houses the Superior Court for Bergen County, along with offices such as the County Clerk, Prosecutor, and Sheriff, and its public entrances face Hudson Street and Court Street. If you're headed downtown for an appointment or a court date, transit helps: NJ Transit's Pascack Valley Line stops at both Essex Street and Anderson Street stations, and the Hackensack Bus Terminal on River Street sits a short walk from the courthouse.
