Congratulations to Maureen (Mo) Griffin, Harvard Law School’s staff honoree for the 2026 American Association of Law Schools (AALS) Pro Bono and Access to Justice Section’s Pro Bono Honor Roll! The Pro Bono Honor Roll celebrates and highlights the pro bono work of law school staff, faculty, and students who provide significant contributions to their law school community’s pro bono legal services.
Mo retired this spring after over twenty years of service to the Harvard Mediation Program (HMP) as Program Manager. In her role, she ushered hundreds of students through training sessions, travels to court, and made sure thousands of mediations ran smoothly.
“From her early days at Harvard Law School, where a chance meeting with Charles Ogletree set her on this path, to her leadership roles with the Criminal Justice Institute and, ultimately, HMP, Mo has been a constant source of dedication, warmth, and institutional knowledge,” her colleagues write.
“Since joining HMP in 2003, Mo has helped shape generations of mediators through her mentorship, collaboration, and unwavering commitment to community-centered dispute resolution. Her impact on HMP and on all who have had the privilege of working alongside her will be lasting and deeply felt. We are profoundly grateful for her service and wish her all the best in this well-earned next chapter.”
Congratulations, Mo!
