Cambridge District Court Information:

In February 2009, the Cambridge District Court temporarily moved from its long time location in Cambridge to 4040 Mystic Valley Parkway, Medford, MA. The new courthouse is clean and well thought out, with three courtrooms, two jury deliberation rooms, and 12 holding cells. The Honorable Roanne Sragow, the presiding First Justice, is a very courteous, empathetic and intelligent jurist. Judge Severlin Singleton, who often presides in the Second Session, has a classic judicial mien and often decides issues quickly. Judge Michele Hogan, who regularly presides in the Trial Session, is a former homicide prosecutor. She is a no nonsense and able jurist. A few other judges occasionally preside over First Session. They are usually smart, professional, usually courteous, and patient — if the lawyer demonstrates he grasps the issues they deem relevant.

History of Cambridge, Massachusetts

Cambridge was settled by John Winthrop, a Puritan lawyer, in 1630. The area was chosen for its prime location up the river from Boston Harbor. Known as Newtowne until its name change in 1638, Cambridge did not become a city until 1846.

Early industries included furniture and glass factories. However, Cambridge is perhaps best known as the home of Harvard University. John Harvard, a minister, left half his estate and his entire library to the university upon his death in 1636.

Several bridges were built across the Charles River beginning in 1662 with the Great Bridge. After approximately 200 years, six bridges were in place. The bridges were tolled to creating funding for their repair and expansion.  Eventually, the General Court prohibited bridge tolls.

During the Civil War, the first enlisted company to defend the Union was organized in Cambridge. It is home to the most prestigious technical university in the world, M.I.T.

Presently, Cambridge has over 101,000 residents, though each fall the population swells with the arrival of thousands of students. The residents of this city are quite diverse, with individuals from nearly every country making their home here. Like many eastern Massachusetts cities, Cambridge has extremely wealthy areas and extremely poor areas.

Actors and directors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who won Academy Awards for “Good Will Hunting,” hail from Cambridge. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., was born and educated in Cambridge.
