Since the opening of the Moakley Courthouse in 1998, Discovering Justiceâs Tours Program has invited both students and adults to experience the magnificent architecture and history of the John Joseph Moakley U.S. Courthouse, home to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. A new online exhibit will allow community members and students to view a set of artifacts and legal documents specific to the Moakley Courthouse as they explore the history and significance of conflict resolution in the judicial branch.
