Getting to Court

Each of the 62 Massachusetts district courts hears most misdemeanor and felony cases that arise within the court’s geographical area. For example, if you were arrested in Burlington, North Reading, Reading, Stoneham, Wilmington, Winchester, or Woburn, your case will be heard at the Woburn District Court.

Woburn, MA 01801

The phone number for the court clerk’s office is (781) 935-4000.
