The Massachusetts Judicial Branch

Massachusetts Appeals Court

Welcome

Appeals Court Reception Welcome to the official Web site of the Massachusetts Appeals Court. We are pleased that the Internet provides us the opportunity to inform the public about our court and how it functions. In this way, we hope to promote a better understanding of not only the Appeals Court, but also the judicial system of which it is a part.

This Web site was also established to enhance the ability of the Appeals Court to provide important and timely information to litigants and attorneys. Similarly, it is intended to serve as a resource for the media, educators and students. We trust that this electronic initiative will make our court more accessible to the public that we serve.

As you explore our Web site, please feel free to provide us with suggestions for improvement at webmaster@appct.state.ma.us.

Chief Justice Phillip Rapoza
