This review is from the perspective of being a juror.

I just wanted to answer some questions I had that were not 100% clear on the Court Website.

The entrance to the court for jury duty is not visible from Somerset St, you have to walk into Pemberton Square with almost no signs telling you where to go. The door with Suffolk County Superior Court carved above it is the one you want.

You CAN bring your phone/laptop/tablet. There is no wifi that was accessible in the jury room. I did not see any available power plugs in the main waiting room but there were plenty in the smaller "Break Room". All calls must be made in the hallway outside of the main room where the elevators are located.

You can bring snacks and drinks but you must consume them in the break room not the main waiting area. There is a small coffee and snack shop right outside the main room.

The whole operation was well organized. Staff kept us as informed as they could. Its a long day but it was worth it.
