Asked in Family Law, Real Estate Law and Probate for New Jersey

Q: I want to present the NJ Law on Adm'n of Estates for Reprobate in the Philippines. Where can I get an official copy?

The Philippine law on evidence requires an authenticated copy of the said law to be presented in court as proof of said foreign law. I am wondering how to obtain said official copy. Is it enough to print it myself and have the same Apostilled before the NJ Dept of Treasury, or is there a proper process I have to go through to get said official copy?
