Access to Justice Awards Luncheon to honor 5 lawyers, 1 firm
Five attorneys and one law firm will be honored at the
Massachusetts Bar Association's Access to Justice luncheon on
Friday, March 12, as part of the MBA Annual Conference 2010.
The Access to Justice awards are bestowed upon those attorneys and
law firms dedicated to helping others and enhancing the legal
profession.
"The MBA has the distinct honor of recognizing Massachusetts
attorneys who selflessly devote their expertise and energy to
represent the most vulnerable of our citizens," said MBA President
Valerie A. Yarashus, who designated access to justice as a
prominent theme of her presidential term.
