Annual Events
Our major annual events provide opportunities for members to come together to celebrate our community and our work and to honor people and organizations that are inspiring change in our profession and our city. We invite you to join us at one of our events where you will meet new people and renew old friendships.
Law Day
The Law Day event, held at Boston’s Symphony Hall, represents an unparalleled celebration of the rule of law, the role of lawyers in our community, and the strength of the legal network in Boston. Historically drawing over 1,000 lawyers and judges, it is the largest networking event of its kind in Massachusetts.
This year’s event will take place on June 15, and will feature Governor Maura Healey as keynote speaker. For early registration and priority seating, please contact us.
John & Abigail Adams Benefit
The signature fundraising event of the Boston Bar Foundation, the Adams Benefit draws over 1,000 attendees to the iconic Museum of Fine Arts Boston to raise money for grants to legal services organizations and to support innovating public service projects. The 2023 BBF Adams Benefit will return to the MFA on Saturday, April 1, 2023. Early sponsorship opportunities are now available.
Late Night at the Museum
Part of the Adams Benefit, Late Night at the Museum is an event that brings together law students and newer lawyers to meet, dine and dance and as they get to know each other and begin to lay the groundwork for successful careers in the law.
