Bringing the Legal Profession Into Your Community
Supporting MBA's community service around the Bay
State
MBA is seeking the support and generosity of the legal community
as the MBA continues to build on the wealth of community services
programs being provided in communities across Massachusetts.
Last year, MBA members received an important brochure in the
mail - Bringing the Legal Profession into Your Community -
reminding members of the thousands of hours of time that their
colleagues in the law give back to their communities by
volunteering in programming administered through the Massachusetts
Bar Institute. For a copy of the brochure, contact MBA Department of Community and Public
Services.

Through much collaboration with schools, state agencies, civic
organizations, councils on aging and the like, the MBA has earned a
reputation for excellence in providing programs to educate our
youth, provide legal services to those in the greatest need, and to
reach out to our neighbors, young and old, with invaluable
law-related services and education.
Whether it be through the Elder Law Program, the Lawyer-Teacher
Partnership initiative, pro bono programs such as the veterans
project, the popular High School Mock Trial Tournament or the
multitude of other community and public services, invaluable legal
services and programming are offered to those who need it most.
"The MBA takes great pride in offering legal assistance to those
who cannot afford an attorney, providing legal representation to
members of our communities in the greatest need, inspiring the next
generation of legal professionals, bringing about a better
understanding of the role of the legal profession and legal system
as part of our daily lives, and working to build new pro bono
opportunities where they are most needed," Wellington said. "If we
are to continue to expand and enhance these programs that are so
vital to our profession and to our communities, we must rely on the
support and generosity of our colleagues in the legal community."By
contributing to the "Bringing the Legal Profession into Your
Community" MBI Public Service Fund, members will invest in the
future of the association's public and community services that
impact thousands of citizens each year across the commonwealth.
Any and all contributions are welcome. In the materials coming
in the mail, members will note levels of giving.
