1. Start with the Morris service area, not a population assumption
Your firm may serve Morris, other parts of Morris County, or a broader New Jersey area. Those are different geographic scopes, and an automation design should reflect the places and matter types you actually accept. The Census record identifies Morris as a municipal-town in Morris County and reports a population estimate of 23,424 for 2020–2024. Treat the geography as a boundary for your intake review, not as a forecast.
Recommended approach
List the locations, matter types and eligibility rules your firm uses today. Then review whether an inquiry from Morris should follow the same ownership, qualification and follow-up path as an inquiry from elsewhere in Morris County or New Jersey. Keep those decisions explicit so automation does not silently send an unsuitable inquiry to the wrong person.
