Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates The Maine Superior Court is the trial court of general jurisdiction in the Maine state court system.[1]

All state jury trials are held in the Superior Court. The court is located in each of Maine's 16 counties (with two locations in Aroostook County), in eight judicial regions.[2] The Court consists of 18 justices who all have statewide jurisdiction and travel to the different courthouses to hold court, with a number of active retired judges as well.[3][2][4] Justices are nominated by the Governor and confirmed by the Maine Senate and are appointed to seven-year terms.[5][6]

Maine's Supreme Judicial Court created a statewide Business and Consumer Docket (BCD),[7][8] which includes within its jurisdiction complex case types that might be found on other states' business and commercial court dockets; but also includes, for example, class actions and complex consumer rights cases arising out of business or government dealings. Cases eligible for this specialized docket are cases that could otherwise have been heard in the Superior Court or Maine's District Court.[9][10] The BCD has a distinct set of procedural rules.[11] The BCD has two assigned judges from either the Superior or District Courts, who are designated by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court.[12][13] As of June 2024, the current BCD judges are Superior Court judge Thomas McKeon and District Court judge Michael A. Duddy.[14] Then Superior Court Chief Justice Thomas E. Humphrey was one of the first BCD judges,[15] along with District Court Chief Justice John C. Nivison.[16][17][18]

Chief Justices of the Maine Superior Court

The position of Chief Justice of the Maine Superior Court was authorized by the Maine Legislature, P.L. 1983, c. 269, § 7, to be effective on January 1, 1984. The Chief Justice is designated by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court to "serve at the pleasure and under the supervision of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court and shall be responsible for the operation of the Superior Court." 4 MRSA §101-A.[19]
