three-story addition. The Justice Center's six courtrooms include
updated technological capabilities to allow for hearings to be
conducted by video conference and newly installed recording
equipment for court proceedings. The courthouse will also offer
WiFi for visitors. The expanded building houses five court
departments: Juvenile, Superior, District, Housing, and Probate and
Family Courts, as well as the Law Library, Court Service Center,
and Registry of Deeds.
