An Act designating the Charlestown division of Boston Municipal Court as the George Lewis Ruffin Courthouse

H 5058 designates the Charlestown division of Boston Municipal Court as the "George Lewis Ruffin Courthouse" to honor George Lewis Ruffin, the first African American to graduate from Harvard Law School, serve on the Boston City Council, and be appointed as a judge in Massachusetts. The bill directs the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance to erect and maintain markers bearing the new name. This is a commemorative measure recognizing Ruffin's historical contributions to Massachusetts law and justice, directly affecting the courthouse's official designation. The bill was favorably reported by the Judiciary committee and referred to House Ways and Means.
