Is a court facility/magistrate office located in the Township Building? If not, who wants to give them a lesson in preemption???

It appears the Township addy is 1 Rose Virginia Road/
Mag. Office/Court is listed as 26 Scholl Drive...............


And what is with the CYA section 2 clause? Are they too lazy, stupid or just smug to confirm laws before they pass their own?
