Adams Pro Bono Publico Awards Ceremony
October 26, 2021 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Standing Committee on Pro Bono Legal Services (Committee) presents the Adams Pro Bono Publico Awards (Adams Awards) each year. Named for attorneys John Adams and John Quincy Adams, the Adams Awards honor Massachusetts lawyers, law students, law firms, and legal organizations that have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to providing pro bono services for the benefit of individuals of limited means. Award recipients will be celebrated in a virtual ceremony at 4 p.m. on October 26, 2021.
Each year, individuals and organizations from Massachusetts contribute thousands of hours of pro bono service to clients and causes across the Commonwealth, the country, and the world. The Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) and its Standing Committee on Pro Bono Legal Services applaud those efforts and celebrate them annually through the SJC Pro Bono Honor Roll Program.
See the Harvard Law School student list on the SJC Pro Bono Honor Roll.
The program will be presented live online at https://boston.suffolk.edu/sjc/, the same Suffolk University Law School webpage that is used to present oral arguments before the Supreme Judicial Court.
This event is a part of Advocacy at Work: Pro Bono Week 2021, sponsored by the Office of Clinical and Pro Bono Programs.
