Apply for appointment to the Clients' Security Board

The justices of the Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) invite interested attorneys to apply for appointment to one of three available five-year terms on the Clients' Security Board.

Pursuant to SJC Rule 4:04, the board is composed of seven volunteer members of the Massachusetts bar. It manages the fund used to reimburse members of the public who have sustained a financial loss caused by the dishonest conduct of a member of the bar acting as an attorney or a fiduciary.

Attorneys with expertise in probate, trust and estate, and fiduciary matters are encouraged to apply. The justices also seek applications from attorneys with legal aid or immigration experience, or other legal experience working with historically underrepresented or underserved communities. Attorneys with diverse backgrounds and experiences, as well as those who practice outside the immediate Boston metropolitan area, are strongly encouraged to apply.  

Interested applicants should send a cover letter and one-page resume to Anna Rachel Dray-Siegel at anna.dray-siegel@jud.state.ma.us by Oct. 9. Questions about the application process or the position should be directed to Dray-Siegel.
