The Massachusetts Bar Association has chosen 33 attorneys as Academy Fellows for the 2021-22 class of the MBA's Leadership Academy, a program for attorneys with three-10 years of experience that is designed to recruit and nurture future bar and civic leaders. The fellows, who were selected after an intensive application process, represent a diverse group of talented young attorneys from across the commonwealth. This year's class also includes select 2019-20 Leadership Academy fellows who were interested in continuing with the academy after 2020 sessions were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The MBA's Leadership Academy provides fellows with an opportunity to network, collaborate and build relationships with bar leaders; develop and enhance leadership skills important to their future in the legal profession; and get an insider's look at the important role the MBA plays within the legal system.
