Elam Judicial Conference, Flaschner Judicial Institute, Boston Bar Association, Hispanic National Bar Association, Massachusetts Association of Hispanic Attorneys, Massachusetts Bar Association, Massachusetts Black Women Attorneys, Massachusetts Legal Assistance Corporation, Massachusetts LGBTQ Bar Association, MA Legal Services' Attorneys of Color Group, South Asian Bar Association of Boston, Asian American Lawyers Association of Massachusetts (AALAM), and others, for a timely and important program on racial justice and data collection.
