Inside the Massachusetts Superior Court

Last night in Boston, WGBH aired a special presentation of their nightly public affairs programme “Greater Boston”.  The programme celebrated 150 years of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Superior Court.  As part of the programme, there was a 5 minute or so feature, showing you a day in the life of a Massachusetts Superior Court justice.  I’ve embedded the whole show below, but I have to say the day in the life segment was fascinating.

This is why Public Television is so good.  Whether its WGBH in Boston, the BBC in London or RTE in Dublin, it’s this kind of programming that makes public television worth paying for, whether directly to the broadcaster, or through a licence fee.
