Massachusetts Trial Court

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Introduction

During the Coronavirus pandemic, the Trial Court has followed the recommendations issued by the CDC and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. These protocols and guidelines continue to evolve and change; as such, so will this document. In addition, the Trial Court has contracted with an Epidemiologist who specializes in infectious diseases to provide guidance and advice on issues not covered by the CDC or the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. We have consulted with our Epidemiologist throughout the development of this document.

There will be a General Membership meeting on Tuesday 3/10 at 6 p.m. at our Braintree office.
