Court Decisions

MDAA legal staff reviews decisions published by the United States Supreme Court, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court and the Massachusetts Appeals Court that relate to criminal law and procedure. We summarize selected decisions and issue the summaries electronically statewide to prosecutors and law enforcement colleagues and post them on this internet site for easy public access. This site contains MDAA case summaries issued after January 1, 2007.
