Harnais leads MBA officers for
2015-16
"The court is an adversarial system, but it's not a
street fight. I'd like to go back to the way we used to treat each
other."
MBA President-elect Robert
W. Harnais, Patriot Ledger, August 26
The Patriot Ledger ran a feature story on Harnais and
his historic appointment as the first Hispanic president of the
Massachusetts Bar Association. Harnais will take over for MBA
President Marsha V. Kazarosian on Sept. 1. The election of

Of note:
- In addition to the clips mentioned above, MBA President-elect
Robert W. Harnais was quoted by the Lowell Sun in an Aug. 25 story about the
process of using interpreters throughout the state's court system.
"An individual appearing before any court in need of an
interpreter should not go, should not be allowed to go, in front of
a court without an interpreter," said Harnais.
