Prayer For Judgement In Raleigh
What Is A Prayer For Judgement?
Unique to North Carolina, a Prayer for Judgment Continued (PJC) is often used in traffic violations. It allows someone to plead guilty and ask for a “Prayer for Judgement,” meaning the offense isn’t entered against you.
For example, you plead guilty to a speeding ticket, then ask for Prayer for Judgement. If granted, the license points will not be added to your record.
However, it’s important to note that a PJC is not a “get out of jail free card.” While it can help avoid points in many cases, you will still be responsible for court costs and certain consequences may still apply depending on your driving record and the specific facts of your case.
Understanding PJC’s And Knowing When To Use Them
While this sounds like a great deal, a successful petition is not guaranteed or automatic. In addition, Prayer for Judgements can only be used twice in five years per household. Judges use a lot of discretion and vary widely in their granting of Prayer for Judgements.
If granted, Prayer for Judgement can result in:
- Increased insurance rates
- Driver’s license suspension
- Employment and housing issues
- Other situations that involve background checks
Although points may not be added to your license, you may have your license suspended. At Cotten Law Firm, PLLC, our PJC attorney in Raleigh can help you determine whether or not this is the best choice for your unique situation.
