Nick N., 486 Mass. 696, 711 (2021), the Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) advised that the Juvenile Court should promulgate appropriate rules addressing notice and discovery procedures to provide clarity and consistency going forward regarding hearings held pursuant to Commonwealth v. Wallace W., 482 Mass. 789 (2019).
