Join us on Thursday, May 1, to support the rule of law and have your voice heard at the Boston Law Day of Action, hosted by the Massachusetts Bar Association. Come reaffirm your attorney’s oaths of allegiance to the U.S. and Massachusetts constitutions with recently retired Supreme Judicial Court Clerk Maura Doyle.
Part of the “nationwide stand for the rule of law,” organized by Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG), the Boston Law Day in Action will take place from noon to 1 p.m. at the Boston Common Bandstand (aka, the Parkman bandstand), near 139 Tremont St., Boston. As of April 24, more than 200 lawyers have signed up to attend the Boston event.
The principles of judicial independence and the independence of the legal profession —cornerstones of American democracy — are facing unprecedented challenges across the country. Attacks on judges for unpopular rulings, political pressure on legal professionals, and a growing distrust of the legal system threaten the very foundation of fairness and equal justice.
These aren't abstract legal concepts. They directly impact every citizen's ability to have their rights protected and their voices heard. When the rule of law is weakened, our entire nation suffers.
