There was no single courtroom where every Massachusetts case began and ended. Colonial Massachusetts developed a layered system of magistrates and courts, each exercising different kinds of authority. And unlike courts today, their work could extend beyond deciding cases into responsibilities involving government and community administration. In Volume 8: The Colonial Court, explore how this early judicial system worked, how authority moved through its different levels, and why sheriffs and constables were essential when a court's decision required action beyond its doors. The court could decide. Public officers carried those decisions into the community.
