OUI and the Border Corridor. I-495 and the Route 97 and Route 110 corridors to the New Hampshire line feed the OUI calendar, defended on the stop and the device records, with the four-day citation rule in play.
Drug, Domestic Violence, and the Clerk Session. The court carries drug matters litigated at the suppression stage and domestic violence and 209A sessions, and its clerk-magistrate sessions screen the summons docket, where a denial ends the matter with no record.
