Currently, the Federal First Circuit Court of appeals clerk's office is not accepting in person filings, and will continue to not do so until further notice. Where paper filings are required, parties can use the drop box located by the main entrance on the first floor of the John Joseph Moakley U.S. Courthouse in Boston.
Additionally, the Court has temporarily suspended a requirement that appendices to briefs must be filed only in paper form. Appendices should be filed electronically, and after an appendix is accepted for filing, the court may set a deadline for paper copies.
The court will hold oral arguments by videoconference during its December 2020 session with live audio access through YouTube.
