Quincy District Court Will Relocate This October

Live Poll

Do you feel temporary court relocations in your area generally cause significant inconvenience for local residents?

Beginning October 26, 2026, the Quincy District Court and two sessions of the Norfolk Juvenile Court will relocate to 400 Crown Colony Drive in Quincy. This move facilitates the planned demolition of the existing courthouse to make way for a new facility on the same site.

Why it matters

The relocation allows for the complete reconstruction of the courthouse, a necessary step to modernize judicial infrastructure in the region. Probation operations will also shift as part of this transition to ensure continuity of services during the construction period.

Operations are moving to 400 Crown Colony Drive, while probation services at 1150 Hancock St. will end. The facility will maintain standard operating hours from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The players

Quincy District Court

This local judicial institution handles criminal and civil matters for the residents of Quincy.

Norfolk Juvenile Court

This regional court oversees legal cases involving minors within Norfolk County.

The details

The Norfolk County Juvenile Court at 55 Allied Drive will continue to operate as usual despite the changes to the other facilities. All relocated services will retain their existing telephone numbers and daily operating hours.

Probation operations at 1150 Hancock St. will cease on October 15, 2026.
The temporary relocation to 400 Crown Colony Drive begins on October 26, 2026.

Legal Context

This project follows the standards set by the Massachusetts Trial Court Facilities Master Plan regarding the modernization of aging judicial infrastructure. Such relocations are common in the state as officials seek to replace dated buildings with modern, accessible court facilities.

Residents and those with legal matters should update their records to reflect the new address at 400 Crown Colony Drive starting in late October. The continued operation of the Dedham location provides an alternative for specific juvenile court needs.

The takeaway

Visitors are encouraged to verify their specific court session location before arriving to avoid confusion during the transition period. Planning ahead ensures that all legal appointments remain accessible despite the temporary site changes.
