The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented delay to the efficient and
timely resolution of civil litigation in the commonwealth. Facing this access to
justice crisis, the Trial Court Department has worked tirelessly to provide
alternative means and paths toward resolution of civil litigation, including but
not limited to Zoom hearings, three-judge bench trials, judicial settlement
conferences and conciliation referrals. Please join our esteemed panel of
Superior Court judges, Hon. Heidi E. Brieger, Hon. Michael K. Callan, Hon.
Shannon Frison, Hon. Hélène Kazanjian, Hon. Maynard M. Kirpalani and Hon.
Douglas H. Wilkins, who will discuss existing and foreseeable options for
addressing this crisis during our next MBA View from the Bench program,
Advancing Civil Cases During the Pandemic.
