Message from the MJC

Hon. Daniel E. Dilorati, President and Chief Executive Officer (January 2025-December 2026)

Welcome to the Massachusetts Judges Conference website. The primary purpose of the website is to provide our members with access to important and timely communications, and archived documents that are available to MJC members and other judges. You will find useful links to:

• The MJC’s Legislative Agenda
• MJConCall247
• State and federal resources
• Communications with the President, Board and Executive Director
• The MJC Transitions Guide to Judicial Benefits and Retirement Planning, workshops and individualized briefings
• Background information about judicial compensation
• Updates regarding MJC Board meetings including quarterly meeting agendas and summaries
• The MJC’s annual meeting, Judicial Excellence Awards, Election of Officers
• and more.

Recent communications will be posted here on the home page, and a little below you’ll see the latest news with links to all news items. As you explore the website to become familiar with the content, you may see a picture of a lock. This means that the content on that page is for member judges and that content can only be accessed with login credentials. These credentials will be given to you upon membership.

The website is also designed to facilitate communication with educators, the media and community organizations interested in learning more about judges and the court system. MJC facilitates judges and court personnel visiting schools and community meetings. Statewide, judges welcome students and teachers to observe court proceedings and explore the inner workings of our criminal and civil justice systems. We feel this outreach is important as the courts are an important part of every community and rebuilding lives that are impacted by drugs, poverty, accidents, mental health issues, domestic violence and basic disagreements. Specialty Courts offer a unique window into new pathways to justice.

Finally, we welcome your ideas and comments, not only to improve the website, but also to provide us with questions to start important discussions about equality, bias, due process of law, and how each of us can play a meaningful role achieving equal opportunity under the rule of law. Please email MJC Executive Director, Robert Clayman, with any website questions and/or ideas.

We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your patience as we update the MJC website.
