Laws of Bergen County, New Jersey

Bergen County, New Jersey which is part of the New York Metropolitan area, is in the top 20 highest income counties in the nation. Despite this wealth, the county still enforces blue laws, which prevent almost all business from being open on Sundays. This is an ironic twist because the borough of Paramus is considered one of the largest shopping meccas in the country.

In the News: Bergen County residents recently filed a defamation lawsuit in federal court against the makers of the movie "Out of the Furnace."  The residents, who are members of the Ramapough Lunaape Nation, claim that the movie portrays members of the Ramapough Lunaape Nation in a negative light. Woody Harrelson’s character and his gang allegedly perpetrate negative stereotypes and encourage discrimination against the Ramapough Lunaape Nation.
