An Act relative to the designation of jury clerk in the Haverhill District Court

HD 2908 amends Massachusetts General Laws to add the court designation "central district court of northern Essex" to the list of courts in section 10 of chapter 218. This change updates the official name for the Haverhill District Court, which serves northern Essex County. The bill does not alter the court's location, operations, or services - it only adjusts the statutory reference for administrative clarity. This technical amendment affects how the court is identified in legal documents and court communications.
