Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Adams Pro Bono Awards Ceremony

The SJC Standing Committee on Pro Bono Legal Services works to promote volunteer legal work in Massachusetts to help people of limited means in need of legal representation, in accordance with Rule 6.1 of the Massachusetts Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys. The Adams Pro Bono Publico Awards Ceremony is one of many activities celebrating and building support for pro bono legal work in Massachusetts and the American Bar Association has also proclaimed a National Celebration of Pro Bono during October every year.

Harvard Law students who have recently completed 50 or more hours of pro bono work according to the Committee’s criteria (which is different than the HLS pro bono requirement) will be celebrated and included on the Honor Roll.

The program will be presented in person in the Supreme Judicial Court’s Seven Justice Courtroom at the John Adams Courthouse, One Pemberton Square, Boston, MA 02108.

The program will also be available live online at https://boston.suffolk.edu/sjc/.
