Trial Court Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

The Massachusetts Trial Court continues to advance its core values and mission of delivering justice with dignity and speed to all. At every level of our organization, we embrace the foundational principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Ensuring fair and equitable access to justice is both an ethical imperative and an operational cornerstone of our mission.

Advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion

The Trial Court is committed to integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) into its work and mission. DEI is a cornerstone of the Trial Court’s Strategic Plan 23-25, embedded in the priorities of each court department.  

The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’s (ODEI) focus is to advance internal DEI efforts that foster and support a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment for all Trial Court employees.
