Boston Bar Association Membership Program
New England Law | Boston has again partnered with the Boston Bar Association (BBA) for the 2016-2017 school year to offer students school-sponsored memberships to the BBA.
New England Law was the first law school in Massachusetts to connect its students in this manner to the BBA, a vibrant professional community of more than 11,000 existing members, including top practitioners, judges, regulators, and in-house counsel.
Here are some of the many ways that you can make the most of your BBA membership:
- Build your professional network and expand your knowledge with hundreds of practice-oriented education programs and networking opportunities;
- Join the BBA’s 70 Sections and Committees to explore different areas of practice – and easily join any of the BBA’s six Affinity Bar Associations;
- Make an impact by getting involved with the New Lawyers Section;
- Participate in experiential learning through the BBA’s Judicial Internship Program or its nationally recognized Public Service Programs;
- Visit the BBA calendar for upcoming events!
