THE FOOD/SNACK BAR BY THE JURY ROOM NOW TAKES CREDIT CARDS. Finally.

Since I run a network of jenkem distilleries (just google it. Actually, don't. Stay off my turf), I end having to appear in court quite often. I would say this courthouse is probably middle of the road.

The best part actually is the food/snack bar. The snacks and food are actually made there I believe, I got a peek into the room behind the counter. They have full sandwiches, breakfast combos, bacon, eggs, etc. The quality is actually really surprising, I enjoyed what I got, and it was cheap too. I think I had a Gavel Burger and a Justice Shake, but I can't recall now.

The jury waiting room has an interesting timeline regarding Mass. legal history. Apparently, we were the first to tell anti-Vaxers to piss off, that was in the early 1900s. Which amazes me because I thought anti-Vaxers were some kind of next-level stupid that the early 2000s invented.

The rest of the building is pretty spotty; floors are old & lighting is poor. The elevators are slow and take forever to arrive. The bathrooms aren't going to leave you scarred, but they're not exactly up to date either. The nicest thing I can say is that the jury box itself has a foot-rest for each seat that makes sitting much more comfortable.

Lastly, I found all the staff, clerks, trial court police, etc. to be perfectly nice as well. Just be nice and they'll be nice back; believe me, you're not important enough for anyone to care enough to be rude to you.
