Dwyer Forms

By Massachusetts Trial Court Law Libraries

The SJC has released six new forms "for use in all criminal cases in which a defendant seeks pretrial inspection of records of third parties that may be statutorily privileged" pursuant to Commonwealth v. Dwyer, 448 Mass. 122 (2006).

These forms supersede and replace the forms originally included in the Dwyer order:

• Notice of a Hearing Regarding the Release of Records
• Notice Accompanying Court-Ordered Summons for Non-Privileged Records
• Notice Accompanying Court-Ordered Summons for Presumptively Privileged Records
• Protective Order for Defense Counsel
• Order Allowing Access to Privileged Records by Persons Other Than Counsel
• Protective Order for Prosecuting Attorney

You can find these forms and others at Criminal Procedure Forms on our site.
