REQUEST TO ADD ATTORNEY OR AMEND ATTORNEY INFORMATION in MassCourts, BasCOT-Civil, BasCOT-Criminal & WMS Trial Court of Massachusetts District Court Department IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ATTORNEYS ABOUT THIS FORM - PLEASE READ The computerized case processing systems used in some District Court divisions (BasCOT-Civil for civil cases, and either MassCourts, BasCOT-Criminal or WMS for criminal cases) are periodically updated with name and business address information for Massachusetts attorneys sent electronically from the Board of Bar Overseers (BBO). MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY INFORMATION. This form permits you to update name or business address information for a Massachusetts attorney on these computer systems until the next electronic update of attorney information is received from the BBO. It is essential that Massachusetts attorneys report address changes to the BBO within 30 days (as required by SJC Rule 4:02), and petitions for name changes to the clerk of the Supreme Judicial Court for Suffolk County, since any changes made by submitting this form will be overridden by the next electronic update of attorney information from the BBO. (In the case of MassCourts, changes made by submitting this form will remain in the system for 14 days and thereafter will be overridden by the next electronic update of attorney information from the BBO.)
