U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts(Redirected from U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts)
The United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts is the Federal district court whose jurisdiction is comprised of the state of Massachusetts. The first court session was held in Boston in 1789. The second term was held in Salem in 1790 and until 1813 court session locations alternated between the two cities. That year, Boston became the court's permanent home. A western division was opened in Springfield in 1979 and a central division was opened in Worcester in 1987. The court's main building is the John Joseph Moakley Federal Courthouse on Fan Pier in South Boston. The United States Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts represents the United States in civil and criminal litigation in the court.
