Legal Question in Criminal Law in North Carolina

Re: What is a prayer to judgement?

In NC a Prayer for Judgment Continued (PJC)

upon entry of admission has the effect of

retaining the case in the district court

without entry of a final judgment. For traffic

offenses only final judgments can be used by

Dept of Motor Vehicles for license points and

revocation, thus the PJC no more than

two times in a five year period prrevents

points from being applied to your operators

license.
