Boston — On Monday, December 8, 2003, the statewide Land Court Department of the Massachusetts Trial Court will open for business at its new location at 226 Causeway Street in Boston. The Court’s last day at its present location in the Edward W. Brooke Courthouse on New Chardon Street in Boston will be on Friday, December 5. All offices, including the courtrooms, of the Land Court will be housed in the newly renovated building on Causeway Street, which is located at the intersection of Causeway and North Washington streets. The entrance to the building faces the Fleet Center.  The business hours of the Land Court begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 5:00 p.m.

            The Land Court relocation, which is being conducted by the Administrative Office of the Trial Court in cooperation with the Commonwealth’s Division of Capital Asset Management, will enable the Boston Municipal Court to move to the Brooke Courthouse in 2004 from its present location at the John W. McCormack Courthouse on Devonshire Street when the Trial Court lease expires at the McCormack Courthouse in 2005.
