Conversations on Law & Liberty in Times of Crisis
“Conversations on Law & Liberty in Times of Crisis” is a new program from the MBA's Presidential Task Force on the Preservation of Rights, Liberties and Access to Justice and the American Bar Association Division for Public Education. It is designed to encourage public discussion of the complex legal and civic issues facing our nation in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. At the heart of the project is the idea of convening public conversations organized around topics related to civil liberties.

Mock Trial
The MBA's Mock Trial Program offers high school students the opportunity to participate and compete against other high school peers from all over the commonwealth. The members of each high school team act as attorneys and witnesses for the case. These students have the opportunity to argue for the prosecution or defense in hopes of obtaining the state championship. [go]

Elder Law
During May, in celebration of Law Day, MBA members throughout the state volunteer their time to speak at their local senior center or council on aging on various elder-law topics. Topics range form basic elder legal issues (wills, trusts, health-care proxy) to more substantive areas (health insurance, Medicaid/Medicare).
The Elder Law Education Program (ELEP) is co-sponsored by the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Association of Elder Law Attorneys and the Executive Office of Elder Affairs.
