What Happens in Woburn District Court
Most criminal cases here begin with an arraignment. At that first appearance the court will:
- Formally read the charges
- Address bail or conditions of release
- Schedule the next court date
- Assign a pretrial conference or probable cause hearing
- 58A Dangerous Hearing, if needed.
Many cases in this court are resolved short of trial through negotiation, pretrial diversion, or dismissal after successful completion of conditions. Others proceed to motion hearings (especially on search and seizure issues) or to trial.

What You Should Do If You Have a Case Here
- Do not discuss the facts of the case with anyone except your lawyer.
- Appear on every scheduled court date (or have counsel appear for you if permitted).
- Contact an experienced criminal defense attorney as early as possible—ideally before the arraignment.
- Bring any paperwork you have received (complaint, summons, police report if you have it, bail papers, etc.).
Early intervention often creates the best chance of a favorable result—whether that means keeping the case from being issued in the first place, securing a continuance without a finding, obtaining pretrial diversion, or negotiating a reduction or dismissal, or simply trying the case until verdict.
