The Massachusetts Bar Foundation, the philanthropic partner of
the MBA, was honored for outstanding service to the administration
of justice by the Boston American Inn of Court at its June 9 Annual
Awards Dinner in Boston.
The Inn, whose co-presidents are District Court Justice Hon.
Barbara Savitt Pearson and Harvey Weiner of Peabody & Arnold in
Boston, was founded in 1990 as Massachusetts' first Inn of Court
and brings together attorneys, judges, legal educators and law
students for the open exchange of ideas and to promote civility,
excellence and professionalism in the profession.
MBF President Joseph P.J. Vrabel accepted the award on behalf of
the foundation and presented a video highlighting the mission and
work of the MBF.
"The foundation is the legal community's best kept secret,
providing millions of dollars for legal aid programs for the poor,"
said Weiner. "It is the state's premier legal charity and every
lawyer should know about it and consider supporting it."
