COUNTY COUNSEL
County counsel is the county's lawyer: advising the board of county commissioners, drafting and reviewing contracts and ordinances, and representing the county in litigation.
Appointed by the governing body from members of the New Jersey bar. Admission and appointment substitute for an examination, so the Commission lists the title without a specification.

County Counsel is a local service title. It is filled by the counties, municipalities, authorities and other employers that have adopted civil service under Title 11A, not by State departments. Those employers set pay by ordinance or contract rather than from a State salary schedule, which is why most local titles carry no salary range here.
