Supreme Judicial Court

Welcome to the Supreme Judicial Court


Welcome to the official website of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.  One of the challenges for this and all courts is to keep the public informed about their justice system.  We believe it is important to reach out to the public so that all might better understand the courts.

This website should provide up-to-date information on Supreme Judicial Court functions, departments and business.  It is also intended to be a resource for educators, students and others on significant events and figures in Massachusetts history, as well as opportunities to learn about and visit the beautifully restored nineteenth century John Adams Courthouse, home of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.

We hope you find the information contained in this website accessible and useful.  We are interested in your ideas too, and encourage you to comment on ways the website might be improved.  Please send your suggestions to webmaster@sjc.state.ma.us.
