In order to honor the memory of Chief Justice Ralph D. Gants, the justices of the Supreme Judicial Court are calling for a day of remembrance on September 18, 2020. On that day, courthouses across the Commonwealth will be closed to enable the judiciary and those impacted by this tragedy to reflect on this incalculable loss to the people of the Commonwealth and to remember Chief Justice Gants' commitment to fairness, equality under the law, and justice for all.
