Short answer
Mercer County separates its court buildings: criminal matters are listed at the Criminal Courthouse, 400 South Warren Street in Trenton, while the Civil Courthouse is at 175 South Broad Street. The 12-hour IDRC is not in Trenton but on Marketplace Boulevard in Hamilton. Northeast Corridor trains from Trenton and Princeton Junction run straight to Newark Penn. Younity, formerly WomanSpace, is the DCF-funded domestic violence program here, while Volunteers of America Delaware Valley runs the county's Abuse Intervention Program.
