Incorporated in 1911, the Massachusetts Bar Association (MBA) is a non-profit organization that serves the legal profession and the public by promoting the administration of justice, legal education, professional excellence and respect for the law. A voluntary association, the MBA represents a diverse group of attorneys, judges and legal professionals across the commonwealth.
“In my 45 years as a member of the MBA, I have participated in over several hundred educational offerings, sometimes as a panel member, but most often as an attendee. Whether an annual update in a specific area or a view into up-coming cutting edge issues in a specific area of the law, I have found those courses unfailingly relevant and helpful. Equally important, I have observed how attendance at these presentations fosters collegiality and civility in the bar.”
