After a two-year hiatus from a comprehensive annual conference,
this year the Massachusetts Bar Association is bringing back its
spring conference on March 11 and 12 at the Westin Copley Place in
Boston's Back Bay. MBA Annual Conference 2010 will feature two full
days of educational programming tied to the conference's theme of
"Achieving a Competitive Advantage in Changing Times."

Now, she's more like hip-deep. And it's all Scott Brown's
fault.

GOP senator from Massachusetts in nearly 40 years, he also shocked
Massachusetts Republican volunteers. Attorneys in leadership
positions in the Bay State GOP suddenly found themselves a lot
busier than they have been for many years.
