The Massachusetts Bar Association’s Complex Commercial Litigation Section
Council will be hosting the Tenth Annual Complex Commercial Litigation
Conference in person at Suffolk University Law School. The conference is a great
opportunity to learn from and network with the commonwealth's leading commercial
litigation practitioners as well as esteemed members of the Massachusetts
judiciary.
This year's keynote speaker will be Chief Judge David J. Barron of the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. David J. Barron became the Chief Judge
of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in April of 2022.
After graduating from Harvard College, he worked as a newspaper reporter before
attending Harvard Law School. Chief Judge Barron clerked for Judge Stephen R.
Reinhardt of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and for
Justice John Paul Stevens of the United States Supreme Court. He then worked as
an attorney advisor for the Office of Legal Counsel of the United States
Department of Justice during the Clinton Administration before joining the
faculty at Harvard Law School. He rejoined the Justice Department as Acting
Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel from 2009 to 2010
