CELL PHONES BANNED

Starting June 1, the general public will be banned from bringing cell phones into Lawrence District Court in the Fenton Judicial Center building in Lawrence, Ma.

Courthouse staff will not hold cell phones for anyone while they are doing business inside the Appleton Street building.  The new policy will apply to members of the general public.   Those exempted from the cell phone ban will be the media, attorneys, police and jurors reporting to duty in the building.  Three additional payphones are being installed in the courthouse in response to the cell phone ban.
