The Massachusetts Housing Court (also known as the Housing Court Department of the Trial Court) is a trial court in Massachusetts that hears a wide range of housing cases of "common law and statutory jurisdiction" dealing "with the health, safety, or welfare, of any occupant of any place...of human habitation" and "the possession, condition, or use of any particular housing accommodations or household goods or services." The housing court has concurrent jurisdiction with the Massachusetts District Court and Massachusetts Superior Court over most housing actions including summary process evictions.〔(GL 185C )〕 In civil matters, Housing Court judges conduct both jury and jury-waived trials, and determine with finality any matter within the court's subject matter jurisdiction. Cases from the housing court may be appealed to the Massachusetts Appeals Court. The housing court has divisions in the Southeast, Boston, Northeast, Worcester and Western. Housing Court specialists are available for mediation in all courthouses.〔(Official website )〕 ==Judges== As of 2012, the housing court judges are: *Chief Justice Steven D.
