Medfield Historical Society Presents, "The Judge Talks
On Monday, November 7, at 7:30pm in the old meetinghouse (First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church, 26 North Street), retired Judge Thomas A. Connors of Medfield will speak on the legal history of Norfolk County and its courts.
Amid controversy, Norfolk split off from Suffolk county in 1793, and Medfield was initially proposed as the county seat!
He will talk about some of the noteworthy cases that have been heard in the 1827 Dedham Superior Court, including Sacco-Vanzetti, the Millen-Faber Needham police officers murder trial, and the 19th century Jason Fairbanks murder trial.

Administrative Justice for Norfolk County.
The presentation is free and open to the public. Mark your calendar!
