Representatives from the Massachusetts Bar Association (MBA)
attended a kickoff luncheon for the Know Your Rights! Program on
March 13 at Mintz Levin in Boston.
The statewide program educates leaders of nonprofit organizations
that focus on helping low-income women and their families. Each
month, experts teach participants about legal topics that are
relevant to the clients they serve. The guest speaker at the
kickoff event was Hon. Dina E. Fein, first justice of the Housing
Court, Western Division, and the special advisor for access to
justice initiatives.
The MBA recently joined the program as a partner and will film the
sessions, allowing nonprofits throughout the state to participate
through a webinar format. Other sponsoring organizations are the
Women's Bar Association and Women's Bar Foundation of
Massachusetts; the American Bar Association Section of Individual
Rights and Responsibilities; Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky
and Popeo PC; One Family Inc.; and the South Asian Bar Association
of Greater Boston.
