What to know before visiting a courthouse in MA

Although courthouses physically reopen on July 13th, all courts will still conduct most business virtually -- by telephone, videoconference and email. If you must go to the courthouse, here is what you should know.

You may go to a courthouse to:

  • attend in-person court proceedings
  • conduct in-person business with a clerk's, register's, or recorder's office
  • meet with a probation officer or probation staff person; or
  • conduct business at other offices that are open to the public and located in a courthouse.

You should self-screen before coming to court

  • If you have a cough or fever, or have been exposed to someone who is COVID-positive or is presumed to be COVID positive, please do not go to the courthouse.
  • You may want to make an appointment to facilitate your visit
  • You may bring your cell phone or electronic device to all courthouses
  • Courts may provide a drop-box in a secure and accessible location at the courthouse entrance to deliver pleadings or documents for filing
  • When you arrive, you will be asked a short series of health screening questions
  • You must wear a mask at all times in the courthouse and observe social distancing; any accommodation requested exception for health reasons related to the wearing of a mask or face covering will be referred to the court’s ADA coordinator. It is suggested that you contact the court in advance to discuss such a request.
  • The number of people in a courthouse, or in a specific area of the courthouse, will be limited to ensure social distancing. You may need to wait in another area, if a clerk’s office has reached capacity.
  • Trial Court cleaning protocols comply with CDC Guidelines for Cleaning and Disinfection for Community Facilities.

If you have any questions, please call or email the court directly. Or call the Trial Court Help Line at 833-91-COURT from 8:30-4:30;  Spanish & Portuguese Interpreters are available
