Massachusetts Court

The Massachusetts Court system is the judicial branch of the state, responsible for interpreting and applying the law. It comprises several levels, including the Supreme Judicial Court (the highest court), Appeals Court, and trial courts, such as District and Superior Courts. These courts handle various cases, from civil disputes to criminal charges. The system ensures justice by overseeing legal proceedings, protecting individual rights, and maintaining social order. Judges and magistrates preside over cases, and decisions can be appealed to higher courts, promoting fairness and accountability in the legal process.
