The Superior Court is a trial court for serious civil and criminal cases. It hears contract disputes, personal injury matters, and other civil actions worth more than $50,000. It handles significant crimes, such as murder, rape, armed robbery, and drug trafficking. The court also reviews administrative agency decisions, including rulings of zoning boards, the Civil Service Commission, and the Sex Offender Registry Board.
