As part of their Customer Service Week, Oct. 3-7, the Mercer County courts will host a series of community education sessions to help residents learn more about child support, the criminal record expungement process, municipal court appeals and Family Division services. An information session for legal professionals in civil practice also will be held.

Judith Irizarry, Mercer Vicinage ombudsman, explains, "Our Customer Service Week information sessions are designed to demystify the courts and to familiarize our residents with services available to them from their court system. We selected topics of interest in areas where we receive questions from the public throughout the year."
