Attorneys who are licensed to practice in Massachusetts and have registered with the Massachusetts Trial Court have access to a portal providing remote access to all nonexempt cases, and a calendar of scheduled events in the cases in which they have entered an appearance. Access is subject to terms and conditions set by the Chief Justice of the Trial Court, and an attorney's access may be suspended or revoked for violation of these terms (effective July 1, 2018).

Users of the Attorney Portal agree to the following:

  • You may use the Attorney Portal to access information in civil cases and criminal cases, and to access calendar events. You may access information in criminal cases only in connection to your representation of a client in a criminal or disciplinary matter. However, you may not use your access to criminal cases to obtain criminal offender record information (CORI) for purposes that violate the CORI law, G. L. c. 6, § § 167 et seq., to provide CORI to individuals who are not your clients in a criminal matter, or otherwise to provide CORI in violation of the CORI law.
  • You may not use the Attorney Portal to access information in a manner that knowingly risks the integrity or security of the Trial Court's case management system; or for any purpose prohibited by law or court rule. Nor may you engage in "data scraping". For purposes of these Terms of Use, "data scrapping" refers to the use of a computer program or other automated process or technique to extract or collect data from the Trial Court's case management system".
  • You may not sell information obtained from these records, directly or indirectly, to third parties and shall not use or allow others to use information obtained from these records for non-litigation purposes such as in connection with hiring or tenant screening.
  • You must keep your user name and password (login credentials) confidential. You may allow persons under your supervision and direction to use your login credentials, but you will be fully responsible for all activity that occurs under your login credentials.
  • Use of the Attorney Portal is subject to monitoring and auditing by the Trial Court at any time. If you (or persons who use your login credentials) use the Attorney Portal in any way that is prohibited by these Terms of Use, you may be denied future access to the Attorney Portal and will be subject to sanctions as provided by law or court rule. Any violation of the Terms of Use may be referred to the Board of Bar Overseers.
  • The Trial Court reserves the right to amend, or discontinue any feature of the Attorney Portal, or amend the conditions of its use at any time. Absent unforeseen circumstances, any such changes will be announced in advance on the Attorney Portal.
  • The Trial Court shall not be liable for any damages associated with use of the Attorney Portal.
