Peabody

There are four major roads leading into Peabody making it a very accessible town; Route 95, Route 1, Route 114 and Route 128. Peabody has its own District Court, one of seven in Essex County. The Peabody District Court is located at 1 Lowell Street in Peabody, just on the outskirts of the town center. The court services the towns of:

  • Lynnfield
  • Peabody

Traditionally, two judges would sit in the Peabody Court. One would handle the day to day criminal matters, arraignments, pleas, pre-trial hearings, pre-trial motions, and other various non-trial issues. The other judge would preside over jury and jury waived trials. For a period of time however three judges were sitting in the Peabody District Court. This was essentially in response to a backlog of cases in the Salem District Court, many of which had been moved to Peabody for trial. More recently however, since the completion of the Ruane Judicial Center is Salem the Peabody District Court has been staffed by only one judge.
