Our more senior lawyers have enjoyed networking with other senior women active in the WBA’s senior lawyers group, actively participating in the WBA’s mentorship programs, and serving on the Emeritus Board to ensure that women obtain parity in first chair roles and that qualified women candidates apply for and are appointed to the bench. We are honored that three of our attorneys – Julia Huston, Martha Coakley, and Sandra Shapiro - have served as former Presidents of the WBA." Adam P.
