Which court your case is in determines everything else, and mediation is available in only one of them. Municipal court. Disorderly persons offenses and ordinance violations are heard in Newark Municipal Court. Where the parties have a prior relationship — neighbors, family, coworkers — the judge may refer the matter to mediation rather than try it. Successful mediation typically ends with the complaint withdrawn. Conditional dismissal is the separate diversion route here, for defendants without a prior record. Superior Court.

These are not alternatives to one another. They belong to different courts and different classes of offense. What you are eligible for was largely decided by how the complaint was charged.
