On
Tuesday, December 20th the BBA’s Fiduciary Litigation Committee will
be hosting Survey of Recent Trust and Estate Cases from Outside
Massachusetts, where experts will introduce cases from
jurisdictions outside of Massachusetts and consider their
implications inside the state. We know our members have chosen
Massachusetts as a place to live and work, but we were curious
where they would choose to live if Massachusetts was not an option,
so we asked:
"If you had to live somewhere outside of
Massachusetts, where would it be? "
If you would like to respond to a future Voices of
the Bar, make sure you
send a headshot, and contact Eric Fullerton at
efullerton@bostonbar.org. |

Michael Siedband – Looney &
Grossman LLP
Marin County, California. Year-round
road biking on beautiful, challenging terrain, easy access to
super fresh local produce, and close to San Francisco without
the chilly summers. If heaven is someplace in America, it’s
almost certainly in Marin (maybe next-door in Napa or
Sonoma).

Maine. No question. Every time
my family crosses the Piscataqua Bridge into Maine, we all
throw up our hands and cheer. This is our favorite place
to vacation, relax and unwind, even in winter. If only moving
there didn’t involve taking the bar exam again…

Massachusetts is an
exceptional place to call 'home" ... but it's not
perfect. I've enjoyed the opportunity to live (in
a commuting sort of way) in Washington, D.C. for much the past
two years. Since I'm not a "winter person", the more
temperate climate of that region or perhaps North Carolina
would be appealing. The community would have to be
dynamic and culturally active, and both D.C. and the Triangle
in North Carolina would certainly qualify. Of course, no
matter where else I might live, Massachusetts will always be
"home."

"Sweet home, Chicago" -- my kinda town. I
grew up in Hyde Park and, as a student at the University of
Chicago Lab School, practically lived on deep dish pizza from
Medici's (a.k.a. "the Med"). Before I followed the path of the
law, I spent much of my youth studying classical trumpet with
a member of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, which remains one
of the premier orchestras of the world. And you can't beat
Chicago for its importance in legal history, from Clarence
Darrow to Richard Posner!

If I had to live somewhere other than Boston,
I would probably choose Atlanta. I had such a great time
there while attending Emory University. I enjoy the diverse
city culture, the live music performances, seeing my friends
in the Atlanta Ballet, and overall, the wide variety of
activities, like in Boston, but with a more mild winter.

Joe Lucia - Foley Hoag
LLP
If I had to live somewhere outside of
Massachusetts, I would most certainly only choose to live in a
state where I was legally permitted to pursue happiness in a
committed and loving marital relationship. Because I am
sadly not free to do that in very many states in this country,
my options are necessarily limited. That being said,
Vermont, New York or Connecticut would probably work just
fine.

Vermont. The bar is adaptive and
collegial, the judges talented, and the skiing is
great.
