BBA President Jonathan Albano has written a letter to
Massachusetts Representative Aaron Michlewitz, Chairperson, House Committee on
Ways and Means, to ask for the committee’s support of several items in the FY20
state budget.
"I write as President of the Boston Bar Association (BBA), a volunteer
organization of nearly 13,000 members, drawn from private practice,
corporations, government agencies, legal-aid organizations, the courts, and law
schools. I am writing to respectfully request your support for a number of items
in the Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20) Budget, before you and your fellow
Conference Committee members. Adequate funding for these items will ensure that
the Commonwealth continues to enjoy a judicial system that is efficient,
effective, and provides access to justice for all."
