January 30, 2023

On January 26, 2023, Sherin and Lodgen LLP joined hundreds of fellow attorneys, law students, and advocates to urge lawmakers to protect state funding for organizations that provide civil legal aid to low-income Massachusetts residents during the Equal Justice Coalition’s virtual event, “Talk to the Hill for Civil Legal Aid.” This year, the annual event advocated for $49 million to fund civil legal aid in the Massachusetts state budget for the 2024 fiscal year.

Beth A. Goldstein, partner and chair of the firm’s Renewable Energy Practice Group, served as captain again for the firm’s team.

The Equal Justice Coalition advocates for expanded access to civil legal aid for low-income Massachusetts residents. The Coalition includes bar associations, law firms, law schools, legal aid organizations, and social service agencies who work together to protect and increase the state appropriation for civil legal aid (budget line item 0321-1600, Massachusetts Legal Assistance Corporation).
