MBA Signature Initiatives
As a way to tackle
important issues affecting a significant number of MBA members
and those in the legal community as a whole, the MBA designates
committees, establishes task forces and joins forces with
like-minded groups to create positive change for the legal
profession.
- Join the MBA in advocating for court funding
The Massachusetts Bar Association is raising awareness on what
is at stake in the absence of adequate court funding.
- Serving Our Veterans in the Law
The Massachusetts Bar Association with financial support from the
Massachusetts Bar Foundation is offering a pro bono program
for veterans struggling with state and federal benefit appeals.
- The MBA Lawyers Eco-Challenge
The MBA has teamed up with the Conservation Law Foundation, New
England's leading legal and environmental advocacy organization, to
encourage lawyers to reduce energy and resource
consumption. More than a dozen lawyers on the MBA's newly
formed Energy and Environmental Task Force created Green Guidelines
for the office and a pledge to help attorneys make their practices
more Earth-friendly. The Task Force is now working on Green
Guidelines for the home.
