ATTLEBORO
DISTRICT COURT TO OPEN JULY 27, 2009
Civil Jury Trials Assigned to Wrentham District Court
Criminal Jury Trials Assigned to the Taunton District Court
The
Attleboro District Court and Juvenile Court will resume
operations on Monday, July 27 at its North Main Street
location after a May 18 fire closed the court for over
two months. A fire restoration company has cleaned and
sealed off the damaged areas of the courthouse on the
top floor and an assessment of the electrical service
has determined that the building is safe for occupancy
by the staff and the public. The civil clerk's office,
which was destroyed in the fire, will be relocated to
the jury assembly room on the basement level of the court.
Beginning
on Monday, July 27, all Attleboro District Court business
will be conducted in the Attleboro District Court with
the exception of jury trials. Civil jury trials will
be transferred to the Wrentham District Court for trial
and criminal jury trials will be transferred to the Taunton
District Court. Jurors who were scheduled to report to
the Attleboro courthouse should not report for juror
service.
