HISTORY New Jersey, the , 2005 . This high level of retail sales persists despite the fact that the County, in general, and the Borough, in particular, have Blue Law s that force the malls and other retailers to close on Sunday.

ROLE AS PUBLIC SQUARE With the shift in shopping from publicly owned Main Street s to privately-held shopping malls, the question of access to malls, and their shoppers, as a public forum has been an issue raised nationwide. This issue has become particularly relevant in New Jersey, where malls in both Suburb an and Exurban areas have largely supplanted local Downtown districts as shopping destinations, depriving individuals and organizations of a public location to reach out to neighbors for distribution of fliers and other forms of expression. While different conclusions have been reached elsewhere, New Jersey's approach has been one of the most expansive in providing groups with access to malls as a public forum, despite their private ownership. The Bergen Mall was the target of a lawsuit by nuclear-freeze advocates who challenged the malls restrictions on distribution of literature to shoppers. On October 12 , 1984 , Bergen County Superior Court judge Paul R. Huot ruled that the organization should be allowed to distribute literature anywhere and anytime in a shopping mall, noting that "the Bergen Mall has assumed the features and characteristics of the traditional town center for the citizens who reside in Paramus and surrounding Bergen County towns.""JERSEY JUDGE ORDERS LEAFLET DISTRIBUTION IN MALL AT ANY TIME", '' The New York Times '', October 21 , 1984 . p.
