BBA reports examine issues of pressing concern to the legal community.
The BBA occasionally files Amicus Briefs in cases related to the practice of law or the administration of justice.
3/13 Richard Morse, Trustee v. Jonathan A. Kraft, et al.
3/13 RFF Family Partnership v. Burns & Levinson.
Arguing that Massachusetts will benefit from stating a clear rule applying the attorney-client privilege when a lawyer consults with in-house ethics counsel, the Boston Bar Association (BBA) filed an amicus brief in RFF Family Partnership v. Burns & Levinson.
3/13 United States v. Windsor; Hollingsworth v. Perry.
Underscoring its long-standing support for marriage equality, the Boston Bar Association today announced its role as a signatory in amicus briefs in two cases now before the Supreme Court of the United States: United States v. Windsor and Hollingsworth v. Perry. In both instances the BBA has joined a coalition of bar associations and civil and human rights groups, and public interest and legal services organizations.
The Boston Bar Association filed an amicus brief in Fisher v. University of Texas, et. al., Supreme Court of the United States No. 11-354. The question the Supreme Court is expected to answer is "Whether [the] Court's decisions interpreting the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, including Grutter v. Bollinger, permit the University of Texas at Austin's use of race in undergraduate admission decisions."
Joining the BBA in its amicus brief is a coalition of organizations united by a shared commitment to advancing diversity in the legal profession. These organizations share the BBA's concern for diversity in higher education, recognizing that diversity within the legal profession cannot be achieved without a pipeline of diverse law school students, and diversity at the law school level, in turn, cannot be supported without diverse representation in undergraduate institutions.
The BBA issues written opinions from time to time in response to members' questions and questions raising issues of general interest to the bar.
