2 2015 PUBLIC Service Report
welcome
Dear Members and Friends,
We’re proud to present the Boston Bar Association’s and Foundation’s 2015 Public
Service Report. Each year, we are impressed and inspired by our members who step
up to serve, engaging in a range of projects that improve people’s lives, and strengthen
our neighborhoods. Some spend a day at Housing Court, on hand to ensure that pro se
litigants have fair and equitable access to justice. Others donate time and resources to
assist current and former members of the U.S. Military. And still more volunteer to teach
future generations what it means to be a lawyer.
In the pages ahead, you’ll read about the work of these volunteer lawyers, as told by
the people who have seen the impact of their service first-hand. We hope these stories
inspire you as they have us, and that you join us next year as we work to improve our
community, help our fellow citizens and create a brighter future for Boston.
If you would like to get involved in any of these programs, please contact Katie D’Angelo,
Public Service Programs Coordinator, at [email protected].
Sincerely,

ABOUT THE BOSTON bar association
The Boston Bar Association (BBA) is the hub of the legal
profession—a strong and diverse group of attorneys
committed to professional excellence, giving back to our
community, and fostering equal access to the justice
system for all.
Starting as a small group of lawyers led by John Adams in
the late 1700’s, the BBA is now more than 12,000 strong, with
members ranging from large firm practitioners, solo and boutique lawyers, affinity bar leaders, in-house counsel, regulators, legal aid attorneys, court personnel, law school faculty,
law students, and other legal professionals. Our members are
experts in a wide range of fields, including Boston’s most
prominent industry practices: health, financial services, and
college and university law. Our members are also proof that
an inclusive legal community is a strong legal community.
As an organization, we’ve built formal partnerships with
six affinity bar associations (the Asian American Lawyers
Association, the Massachusetts Association of Hispanic
Attorneys, the Massachusetts Black Lawyers Association, the
Massachusetts Black Women Attorneys, the Massachusetts
LGBTQ Bar Association, and the South Asian Bar Association
of Greater Boston). Together with our fellow bar associations,
our partners in the city, and the Boston Bar Foundation, we
work to strengthen our initiatives and expand our capabilities
as we look to a bright future.

lihood of recidivism, both judges proposed to the
BBA the idea that lawyers might have helpful legal
expertise to offer to probationers as they prepare
to reenter society.
The initiative began in 2012 as a collaborative effort
between Judges Leo T. Sorokin and Timothy Hillman of the District Court and the BBA’s Public
Interest Leadership Program (PILP). Involved with
the probation programs C.A.R.E. and RESTART,

After incarceration, rejoining society again is no
easy task. Formerly incarcerated individuals face
obstacles in regaining their licenses, finding jobs,
securing housing, and any number of other basic
needs. Navigating this road without assistance can
seem daunting. Topics covered in this program
include: CORI management, finding affordable
housing, family law, public benefits, financial literacy,
reinstating drivers licenses, and landlord tenant law.

o u r S to ry
Raquel Webster & Adrienne Walker | Volunteers
Raquel Webster,
(National Grid) one
of the committee
members involved
with the creation of
the program, cited
an overwhelmingly
enthusiastic response from participants
from the very start: “In the first workshop, there were enough questions to
have kept us there for hours. The attendees were very engaged and had all
sorts of questions—you could see them
scribbling down notes for the entire
session, and many approached [the presenter] after to thank him and ask extra
questions. We left feeling encouraged
that, even if it was in a short amount of
time, we could tell that they were trying
to soak it all in… ”
With resounding success in its first
iteration, the BBA formally adopted the
Reentry Education Program to embark
on a second year. Workshop leaders
include attorneys from private practice,
legal services, solo practitioners, and
more—all of whom have eagerly offered
to volunteer for this critical program.
So far, participants at the sessions have
learned more about public benefits,
their tenancy rights and affordable
housing options, driver’s license reinstatement, and beyond.
As to whether the program continues
to have a positive effect, the close attention that participants have shown in the
workshops is testament enough. Adrienne Walker (Mintz Levin), who taught a
financial literacy course, affirmed, “Learning about credit and the tools needed
to build a strong credit history are vitally
important to regain independence and
financial security. The participants in the
BBA Reentry Education Program…recognized this need and were incredibly engaged and eager to learn, and apply the
class tools towards their own fresh start.”
That’s exactly what this program
seeks to offer to the participants of the
workshops: their best chance at a fresh
start. Equipped with information about
their rights and how to live responsibly,
participants are more likely to avoid
recidivism. The Reentry Education
Program teaches them that the justice
system is there to support them, and
in doing so creates a safer, healthier
community for all.
PILP 11 and Choice
Following the structure established
by the Reentry Education Program’s
presentation, PILP 11 provided educational programs to participants in the
Boston Municipal Courthouse in Roxbury
CHOICE program. Formed in 2009, the
CHOICE program combines intensive
probation supervision and monthly incourt sessions with encouragement for
job placement and continuing education.
SUMMER JOBS PROGRAM
m y s to ry
Marty Walsh
Mayor of Boston
Q: Why are summer jobs for Boston’s
youth so important?
A: Summer jobs provide Boston
youth with meaningful employment
experiences in a professional environment, with opportunities to gain the
necessary skills to become effective leaders in college, careers, and their future.
We know that summer work improves health and safety for urban
youth. But I want to do more than that;
I want to connect jobs to the college
and career pathways we are building
in our high schools.
At these jobs, youth are able to
connect with committed, responsible,
and reliable mentors. These strong and
empowering relationships will help to
shape our youth, and ultimately support
our thriving, healthy, and innovative
communities in Boston.
Q: How does the Boston Bar
Association’s participation support your
overall goals for summer jobs?
A: The Boston Bar Association is a great
partner in supporting my Summer
Jobs Program and my efforts to provide
Boston’s youth with positive learning
experiences that extend beyond the
classroom.
Because of their remarkable
network across the legal community,
the Boston Bar Association is one of
the top private sector partners, helping
to secure over 60 youth jobs with
more than 40 law firms for the summer of 2015. Together, we are opening
opportunities for Boston’s youth to
create the next generation of diverse,
professional leaders within our
community.
The Boston Private Industry Council (PIC)
PIC has partnered with the BBA for the past 22
years. In that time, we’ve worked together to
place nearly 800 Boston public high school
students in paid legal internships and to prepare
them for successful careers down the road.
Our program would not be possible without
the support of the PIC. The PIC career specialists
in each Boston public high school select the
best candidates for the program, help students
with applications, and provide workshops to
prepare students for their jobs.
recognizing our partners
The City of Boston
Under Mayor Martin Walsh, the City of Boston
works tirelessly to provide young people summer employment opportunities. We thank him
for his commitment to this initiative and to the
BBA Summer Jobs Program.
10 2015 Boston Bar Association Service Report
For decades, the City of Boston and the Boston
Private Industry Council have worked to organize
private sector employers to participate in the
Mayor’s Summer Jobs Initiative. And each summer,
nearly 900 Boston-area employers—large and
small, public and private—answer the call to hire
Boston high school students.
The Boston Bar Association’s eight week paid
internship offers these students professional experience, a steady paycheck, and a chance to meet
new mentors and learn from the best in the field.
The influence that this short period can have on
their lives is immeasurable. We’ve watched as they
have gone to college and returned to their communities as lawyers, teachers, and successful adults.
This year, we employed more students than ever
before. Sixty-five teens, 15 funded by the BBF,
representing every neighborhood of Boston spent
the summer in law firms, legal departments and
non-profit organizations. Each week they came together for enrichment seminars, career panels and
fieldtrips to various courts.

they took to become a lawyer, changed my life. I now am sure of
what type of lawyer I want to become and the type of law I want

“ The most memorable part of the BBA Summer Jobs Program
was the seminar where BBA interns, like myself, got to meet different professionals in the law field. It was very eye-opening to
not only see the different careers in law but also, to learn about
the various types of law that one could practice. Overall, this
seminar was very enlightening and showed me that within the
law field, there isn’t one set path or career that I can pursue. The
opportunities are endless.”

lawyer referral service
“Hello, Boston Bar Lawyer Referral Service.”
professionally, Unflat stayed with the Lawyer
Referral Service.
That’s the phrase heard at 16 Beacon Street an
average of every 12 minutes all year long, as Greater
Boston residents reach out in search of an attorney.
The BBA Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) is a resource
for people who need legal help but don’t know
where to start. For more than 60 years, the BBA
has referred thousands of LRS callers every year
to lawyers who specialize in the area of law related
to each caller’s situation.
One such lawyer is Laura Unflat, a family law
practitioner based in Wellesley. Unflat signed on
through the office she worked with when she first
began practicing law. But even after moving on

“When I went out on my own, I kept my membership with the LRS as a way of providing community service. Many referrals are people who don’t
know where to go or who to ask for an attorney;
they’ve never had the need before. It is a wonderful
resource for all, but I find particularly for those from
a more modest income background.”
“For me, the best part about being an LRS attorney
is reaching clients who otherwise would not have
been in touch with me. They are from a variety of
backgrounds, socially and economically, and I
enjoy that.”

Troy Shennette & Laura Unflat | Caller & LRS Attorney
It isn’t always easy to ask for help
when facing a legal problem; it takes
courage to share details that are
often personal and to place your trust
in someone you don’t know. Troy
Shennette took that chance.
“I first learned about the BBA’s
Lawyer Referral Service online; I went
on the web, did a search for lawyer
referral services, and found the site.
My attorney was really helpful—she
gave me all types of options and information to help with my problem. I really
didn’t expect her to be so caring and
to give me the chance to learn about
my options.”
“I really think that without the help
of my attorney, my case would have
had a different outcome. Ms. Unflat
really educated me on what to do
versus what not to do if I needed to
think about these issues in the future.
It made me think about what I could
do differently moving forward. Without
her, I wouldn’t have been so informed
on my options and the process in general. I’d call the Lawyer Referral Service
any time I’m looking for information
or legal support—it makes things so
much easier.”

Emily Hodge & Bradley Elementary School | Volunteer at School
The fourth graders at Manassah E.
Bradley Elementary School in East
Boston had no trouble coming up with a
list of rules that they follow every day.
“I have to go to bed at eight,” said one
student.
“I have to do my homework before
I can watch TV,” said another. “And we
can’t run in the hallways at school,
either.”
Emily Hodge, a lawyer with Choate
Hall and Stewart LLP, is leading the
students in a discussion about laws, the
justice system and the role of lawyers.
“Laws are like adult versions of the
rules,” she explains. “What we’re doing
today is figuring out why we have laws.”
Hodge’s task as guest teacher is a
part of the BBA’s week-long Law Day
in the Schools Program. In total, nearly
80 volunteers taught more than 1,000
students in seven different schools.
In addition to offering attorneys the
chance to spend a day out of the office
and in the community, the program is a
way to help prepare the next generation
to be active, educated citizens.
“When you can teach kids early on
to appreciate and understand the
basic ideas that underlie our justice
system, they can gain a sense that
it’s something that they want to participate in,” says Hodge.
Fourth grade teacher Michael
Wilson agrees. “You always want to
expose kids to as much knowledge as
you can,” he says. “For someone to
come in besides me and teach them
is a great way to learn.”
law Day in the schools
For one week this spring, seven Boston public
schools played host to nearly 80 volunteer attorneys. They were there to mark the 800th birthday
of the Magna Carta, and lead a lesson plan on the
famous document.
And while the lesson began with the Archbishop of
Canterbury’s attempt to make peace between an
unpopular English king and a group of rebel barons, the conversations in classrooms across Boston
moved well beyond that, to discussions about rules,
77
laws, why we have them, and the important role
lawyers play in our justice system.
Each May, the Law Day in the Schools program
gives elementary, middle and high school students
a firsthand look into the legal profession. In turn,
the Program offers lawyers a way to engage with
Boston public school students, share their passion
for the law, and be inspired by the next generation.

Judicial Internship program
Keenly aware of the challenges that law students—
particularly those from diverse backgrounds—face
entering the profession, the BBA has established programs that offer support and guidance to students
while connecting them to resources in the broader
legal community. Perhaps the most significant of
these is the Judicial Internship Program, held in
collaboration with the Commonwealth’s Trial Courts,
including the Boston Municipal Court, District Court,
Superior Court, and the Probate and Family Court.
Students are also placed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court

(“BAP”). More than 125 law students have participated
since the program’s inception.
Established in 2010 based on a suggestion by
Judge Robert Tochka, the program offers immersive experiential learning coupled with a sense
of community investment in the futures of the
students. Over the summer, interns are paired
with a participating judge, where they have the
opportunity to work directly in support of the
court staff. Throughout the summer, the BBA holds
educational programs specifically geared toward
the interns.

Judge Robert N. Tochka and Paulette Pagan | Volunteer & Intern
If any proof is needed that the program
is a valuable initiative, talk to Paulette
Pagan, part of the Summer Judicial Internship’s Class of 2014 and an intern in
the Boston Municipal Court with Judge
Tochka (who has since moved to the
Superior Court).
“I wouldn’t trade last summer for the
world,” she said firmly. “It was, without
a doubt, the absolute best experience I
could have had after my 1L year, and I’m
more than grateful for the opportunity.
That’s why I’m such a big proponent of
the program: it has catapulted my law
school career and my post-law school
career in a direction that I had never
anticipated.”
As a self-identified diverse student,
gaining this sense of inclusion in
Boston’s legal community was critical
to Pagan. Not only did her internship
introduce her to the world of the trial
attorney and convince her that this
was her path to pursue, but it also gave
her an entrée into the profession that’s
actively aiding her: the connections she
made through the Judicial Internship
Program led to her getting a term-time
internship at the Suffolk County District
Attorney’s Office.
“Boston is a microcosm of the
world,” explained Judge Tochka. “Its
diversity is part of what enriches the city
in myriad ways. If students from various
backgrounds and law schools meet
during a summer internship, it could
be the first step in forging long-lasting
relationships. In my experience, the challenges and rewards of this profession
lie in the inter-relationships we develop
with so many different people in all
strata of society.”

Lawyer for the Day
in the Boston Housing Court
Imagine being summoned to a place that you had
never been to and didn’t understand. You knew
that it was an important visit, but weren’t sure what
to do or say, and had no one to help you. Unfortunately, that’s a situation facing many people in our
courtrooms.
These unrepresented litigants are often unsure of
how the court operates, uncertain of what they are
supposed to do when they come before the judge,
and with little understanding of the law or knowledge of their legal rights. The Lawyer for the Day
volunteers are their safety net.”
Judge Jeffrey M. Winik, First Justice of the Boston
Housing Court, sees this firsthand regularly.
The Lawyer for the Day in the Boston Housing
Court Program provides crucial advice and assistance to unrepresented landlords and tenants
navigating the Housing Court system. Over the
past 16 years, volunteers have assisted over 17,000
landlords and tenants.
“People come to this court every week who are
unrepresented. They include tenants at risk of
losing their apartments, landlords facing significant
defenses or monetary claims brought by tenants,
and homeowners at risk of losing their homes.

Unrepresented litigants have the benefit of talking
to knowledgeable lawyers trained in housing
law who are able to help them understand their
options, better articulate their defenses and claims,
and enable them to make informed decisions
regarding how they should proceed.
In one instance, a property owner came into court
without a lawyer. His tenant—who had not paid rent
in six months—had asserted numerous counterclaims and was asking for thousands of dollars in
damages. After speaking with a volunteer lawyer
the landlord was able to negotiate an agreement
with the tenant that reestablished the rent flow and
gave the owner time to make repairs.
In another case, a tenant was facing eviction. The
tenant had filed a written answer that included
defenses and counterclaims. The tenant negotiated an agreement with her landlord’s attorney
that required her to vacate her apartment on a
very short timeline and pay a significant amount
of money. The agreement was presented to Judge
Winik for review. After questioning the tenant and
the landlord’s lawyer, Judge Winik was left with the
impression that the tenant didn’t understand that
she had agreed to waive the defenses and counterclaims asserted in her answer. He suggested

hearings in Housing Court, Judge Winik

that the tenant bring the proposed agreement to a
Lawyer for the Day volunteer lawyer. The volunteer
lawyer reviewed the agreement with the tenant,
explained what her rights as a tenant were, and
discussed what other options were available to her.
The volunteer lawyer was able to work with the
landlord’s attorney to come to a new agreement,
one that not only allowed the tenant more time to
find a new apartment, but also included a reduction in the amount of rent owed based on claims
asserted in the tenant’s answer that the volunteer
attorney helped the tenant understand.
“The beauty and benefit of the Lawyer for the Day
program from where I sit is that it’s even-handed,”
says Winik. “It provides counsel and support to
both landlords and tenants, so it is fair in appearance and in reality. I think that is an essential component of the program, and I see evidence of
it every day in my courtroom.”
“Judges try to make sure that everyone who comes
into their court has a fair opportunity to be heard.
Volunteer lawyers make that a reality every day.”

PILP participants connect with prominent community
leaders at meetings and events. They learn about
the challenges confronting local organizations, and
then take part in efforts to address specific community needs. After completing the 14-month program,
graduates enter a growing network of accomplished
alumni who provide mentoring and support to their
successors.

“PILP made it possible to connect with like-minded
peers early in my career. Many of them have become
colleagues, collaborators, and friends.”
—Samantha Morton, Executive Director, Medical-Legal Partnership
what I
learned
As the BBA welcomes the twelfth class of Public Interest Leaders, we reached
out to past PILP classes to learn about the many achievements of this impressive growing network of alums.
“PILP made it possible to connect with like-minded peers early in
my career. Many of them have become colleagues, collaborators,
and friends. I was able to meet and talk with prominent leaders
from all sectors of the legal community—rare opportunities indeed. PILP set the stage for other types of valuable BBA involvement - I’m sure that my positive experience with the program
helped pave the way for other rewarding BBA leadership roles.”
—Samantha Morton, Executive Director, Medical-Legal Partnership
“The BBA’s Public Interest Leadership Program (PILP) provided me
with an opportunity to hone my leadership skills while establishing
a priceless network of ambitious and civic-minded professionals.
The BBA also takes care of its own. For example, since graduating from PILP, I have had the opportunity to serve on the PILP
Subcommittee and as an at-large member of the BBA’s Business
Transactions Steering Committee. Most recently, I was appointed to be Co-Chair of
the BBA’s Energy and Telecommunications Subcommittee. I very much look forward
to seeing where my PILP network and experiences take me next.”
“I found my
participation in
PILP to be very
rewarding, both
personally and
professionally.
I enjoy working
with a diverse
group of attorneys.”
—Christopher Saccardi, The Law
Office of Christopher T. Saccardi
—Camal Robinson, National Grid
“I found my participation in PILP to be very rewarding, both personally and professionally. I enjoyed working closely with a diverse
group of attorneys whom I would likely not otherwise have gotten
to know. I am still in touch with many members of my former
PILP class and find them to be good friends, helpful for discussing
legal questions, and a value source of referrals. I also learned a lot
about the BBA as a PILPer and have found its resources and staff to be very helpful
to me in my own practice.”
—Christopher Saccardi, The Law Office of Christopher T. Saccardi

Expanding Access to Justice
Beginning with our founding father John Adams,
who provided pro bono representation to the British
soldiers prosecuted for the Boston Massacre, the BBA
has been at the forefront of promoting justice and improving access to the legal system in Massachusetts.
We work to ensure adequate funding for the courts
as well as civil legal services, so that those who need
to turn to the justice system to protect their rights or
resolve their disputes will find the sufficient staff and
resources to assist them.
BBA Statewide Task Force to Expand
Civil Legal Aid in Massachusetts
Did you know that 64% of people who seek civil
legal aid are turned away due to lack of resources?
That’s what the Task Force learned following an
18-month examination of unmet legal aid across the
state. The report, Investing in Justice, is the most
comprehensive study of civil legal aid in Massachusetts. Its findings made headlines, prompted op-eds
and even inspired a Globe editorial cartoon, all advocating in support of increased funding.
Perhaps most significantly, the report showed that
every dollar spent on legal aid yields a return on
investment between $2 and $5. This finding empowered the legal community to request $25 million for
Massachusetts Legal Assistance Corporation (MLAC)
in FY16 to fund civil legal aid.
Walk to the Hill
Remember the record-setting winter of 2015? In late
January—just days after the first of many blizzards—
more than 500 attorneys joined Attorney General
Maura Healey at Walk to the Hill to ask their legislators for increased funding for civil legal aid.
As Supreme Judicial Court Chief Justice Hon. Ralph
D. Gants pointed out, while then current budget of
$15 million may sound like a lot, it is the equivalent
of every person in the state buying a single cup of
Dunkin’ Donuts coffee. The request for $10 million in
additional funding, therefore, is nothing more than
that cup o’ joe plus a bagel…without cream cheese.
In the end, the legislature appropriated $17 million to
MLAC in FY16, a satisfying increase in a year marked
largely by level funding.
Thank you to everyone who spoke with your
legislators about access to justice. The reception we
received from the State House was overwhelmingly
supportive. We are confident that the Legislature
will continue to support civil legal aid as not only the
right thing to do, but also a smart investment.
John & Abigail Adams Benefit
Welcoming a record breaking crowd of over 1,000
guests and raising over $650,000, the Boston Bar
Foundation’s John & Abigail Adams Benefit plays a
major role in funding legal services organizations
in our community. 100% of the proceeds from
this event are used to fund grants to community
non-profits working to prevent homelessness,
protect victims of domestic violence, advocate for
those facing injustice and much more. The BBF
thanks the sponsors and attendees, including the
over 200 young lawyers who attended the inaugural “Late Night at the Museum” party, for their
support of this important cause.
Grants
$950,000 in grants were provided by the BBF to
23 community organizations that work to provide
legal services to those in need.

Law Day Dinner: Honoring Public Service
On May 27th, more than 1,300 members of Boston’s
legal community gathered at the Seaport Hotel for
the Boston Bar Association’s annual Law Day Dinner.
During the event, BBA president Julia Huston honored three legal service professionals.
The Thurgood Marshall Award, which recognizes
private attorneys in greater Boston for their efforts to
enhance the human dignity of others through legal
services, was given to Al Wallis, Executive Director of
the Brown Rudnick Center for the Public Interest. Mr.
Wallis has combined pro bono legal representation,
charitable giving and community service to engage
thousands of volunteer attorneys in service to their
community. It is truly an innovative model that has
motived and inspired others in the legal profession
to contribute time, expertise and resources to help
those in need.
The John G. Brooks Legal Service Award, which
was established to recognize professional legal services attorneys for their outstanding work on behalf
of indigent clients in greater Boston, was awarded to
Barbara Mitchell, Executive Director for the Community Legal Services and Counseling Center (CLSACC).
Ms. Mitchell leads the only volunteer-based agency
of its kind in the area, combining legal assistance and
mental health counseling.
“The satisfaction of making a
positive difference in people’s
lives is the best part about
being an attorney.”
— Barbara Mitchell, Recipient of the John G. Brooks Award
BBA President Julia Huston (second from left) with honorees
Jack Ward, Barbara Mitchell and Al Wallis.
The President’s Award, a special honor granted
occasionally to single out an individual or group for
their extraordinary contributions to the field of legal
services, was given to Jack Ward, recently retired
from Greater Boston Legal Services. The award
recognized Mr. Ward’s more than 30 years of leadership and guidance. Known nationally as one of the
foremost fundraisers for legal services, Mr. Ward’s
finance and development efforts have given tens
of thousands of people in our community access
to justice.
“The BBA helps instill the power and
the possibility of the law.”
—Attorney General Maura Healey, keynote speaker at the Law Day Dinner
